Mick Wallace founded Wexford youths in 2007 and managed it for its first 3 years in the first division, Wexford was promoted in 2015 only to lose a relegation playoff to drogheda the next year.

In 2017 the Wexford supporters trust bought the club from Wallace ahead of Wallace’s election for European Parliament in 2019. The club changed name to Wexford f.c. like today.

Mick Wallace still seemed to have influence on the club until 2023 because they still played in pink and black (colours inspired by Palmero), still had Mick Wallace’s winebars as a sponsor and released these bizarre Che Guevara jerseys for the regular season with Mick Wallace EUL/NGL (Group of the European United Left/Nordic Green Left) on the front.

From the 2023 season onwards they changed their crest from Mick Wallace’s old Torino inspired crest to the modern crest.
