1930s Successes
During the 1930s, North Down won the Ulster Senior League title five times in a six-year period. The Kirk Cup was won twice in 1935-36 and 1936-37.
The 1935-36 season was the zenith for North Down's achievements. J.L.O. Andrews was elected President of the Ulster Branch, and James MacDonald was selected as captain of Ireland for the first time. The club responded to these off-the-field honours by winning the Kirk Cup and the Ulster Senior League and was beaten finalist in the Irish Senior Cup final in Dublin.
