Brideville had three spells playing in the League of Ireland, which added up to seventeen seasons in total.
During their first spell in the League of Ireland, Brideville also made two FAI Cup final appearances.
In 1926–27, with a team that included Fran Watters, they lost 1–0 in a replay to Drumcondra, then playing in the Leinster Senior League.
In 1929–30, with a team that featured Peadar Gaskins, Joe O'Reilly and Charlie Reid, they again lost 1–0 this time to Shamrock Rovers.
Then with less than a minute to play, David Byrne, later to become a Brideville player, scored the winner.
