Mallow's main station building is located on the south side of the railway tracks, nearest to the town, and is constructed from the grey stone typical of many Irish stations.

The station is located in Annabella, just outside Mallow, in north County Cork.

It is situated just north of the junction between the lines from Cork and Tralee.

It was built and operated by the Great Southern and Western Railway.

Until March 1967 Mallow was also the Junction of a line which ran to Waterford via Fermoy, Lismore and Dungarvan.
