Carrick Rangers is a Northern Irish football club playing in IFA Championship 1. The club, founded in 1939, hails from Carrickfergus County Antrim and plays its home matches at Taylors Avenue. Club colours are amber and black. The current manager is Stephen Small who was appointed on 26 April 2006.
From 1983 until 2003, the club enjoyed senior status, but reverted to intermediate status when the Irish Premier League was established and the number of senior clubs was reduced from 20 to 16. The club's greatest achievement was winning the Irish Cup in 1976, when, as a B Division team they beat Linfield in the final in one of the greatest cup shocks. Having qualified for the following season's European Cup Winners Cup the club very creditably reached the last 16 before going out 9-3 on aggregate to English club Southampton.
