The Catholic Party was founded in Liverpool in 1925 from the Irish Nationalist Party's Liverpool section following the establishment of the Irish Free State and its separation from the United Kingdom.[1] It represented the interests of the Irish population.

The Catholic Party stood candidates in Liverpool City Council elections from 1925 to 1929; thereafter it became the Centre Party.
