In this article new biographical research relates Dublin-born Peter J. Peel’s early sporting activities to his professional career trajectory as a thrice-elected president of the United States Football Association (U.S.F.A.). His presidency culminated in leading the USA soccer team to the 1924 Paris Olympiad and subsequently to Dalymount Park in Dublin for the Irish Free State’s first home international soccer fixture. The paper will also detail the nature of Peter Peel’s simultaneous 1918 tenure as presidents of the United States Football Association (U.S.F.A.) and The Irish Fellowship Club of Chicago during the Irish conscription political crisis and the Paris Peace Conference. Peel’s career is interpreted through the prism of his early Limerick formation in a rugby-playing family and his own fluid sporting and civic activities
