Irvine has two junior sides. The Marymass Derby against Irvine Victoria is played on the Friday before the Marymass horse races, so the fixture arrives with the festival and not with the league calendar. Kilwinning Rangers, up the road, come next in the list of grudges, but the Victoria match is the one that belongs to the town.

Irvine Meadow XI, "The Medda" to the locals, have played in royal blue, white and black since 1897. Three Scottish Junior Cups came in 1959, 1963 and 1973. The Western League, known later as the Ayrshire First Division, went to Meadow Park twelve times. Tommy Gemmell, later of St Mirren and a Scotland international with two caps, played for the club before his senior career started.

Their best-known result came late. On 28 November 2009 they beat Arbroath 1–0 in the third round of the Scottish Cup, the first time a junior club in Scotland had beaten a Scottish Football League side in a competitive match. The draw then sent them to Hibernian, and they lost 3–0 in the fourth round with an estimated 2,000 supporters travelling. Brian McGinty, a player from 2007 to 2011, later managed the club. Those were also the years of the SJFA West Region Premiership titles in 2009, 2011 and 2012.

In 2020 the club left the junior ranks for the senior West of Scotland Football League. Meadow Park holds 4,364, with 490 of those seated. The Marymass fixture moved to the new league with them, and Victoria are still the side the town wants them to beat.
