Statement: Ciara McCormack Steps Down as Treaty United CEO.

McCormack made history in October 2023 by becoming the first female CEO of a League of Ireland club and departs the role after both the men’s and women’s sides enjoyed their most successful seasons to date in 2025.
McCormack was a central figure in securing investment for the club, most notably signing a long-term lease for the use of the Markets Field Stadium.
The Canadian born McCormack made eight caps for the Republic of Ireland.
On the pitch, the club has gone from strength to strength. Having only formed in 2020, the men’s side has been to the playoffs thrice in that timespan.
The women’s side has developed nicely, boasting five players in the most recent Ireland under-19 squad.
“I am incredibly proud of what we achieved together during a transformative period for Treaty United,” McCormack said.
“Professionalising the club, securing investment, strengthening financial and governance foundations, securing the long-term Markets Field lease, and seeing our senior teams and academy players reach new heights have been tremendous highlights.
“I want to thank everyone at Tricor and the ownership group, the board, players, staff, volunteers, supporters, and the wider Limerick community for their passion and belief.
“I wish the club every success in its next chapter and will always remain a supporter.”
The board of Treaty United thanks Ciara for her efforts over the last two years.
“We thank Ciara for her leadership, commitment, and belief in Treaty United. She leaves the club on a stronger footing and with a clear path forward. We are grateful for her support during this transition and for the foundation she has helped establish.”
It remains unclear as to whether McCormack will depart the club indefinitely, or whether the announcement is merely prompting a reshuffle of roles, as Tricor Pacific Capital remain the majority shareholder at the club.
Ciara will support a smooth transition and handover process as the club prepares for the 2026 season.
