Ground
Mervue's home ground is Fahy's Field. However, it did not meet League of Ireland requirements until the 2011 season, resulting in senior home games being played at Terryland Park. This has left Mervue with little or no fan base, and attendances are estimated at being the lowest in the League of Ireland. In the 2010 off-season, Mervue upgraded Fahy's Field to League of Ireland standard, meaning that 2011 season games could be played in Fahy's Field.
