Late in 2022, the Dublin Leprechauns were announced as a new expansion team in the [[Pecos League]]. Trevor Wick, a Pecos League alumni, was named field manager. However, Wick's tenure did not last long, and soon Rene Lopez was named manager. Lopez's tenure was also short lived, and was replaced with Albert Dominguez. The 2023 Season was a rough one, with the Leprechauns going 4-45.

In May 2023, the Pecos League announced the joining of the Dublin Leprechauns in the Pacific Division. They replaced the Santa Rosa Scuba Divers after the franchise was moved to Dublin from Santa Rosa.[1][2] Trevor Wick was announced as the team's first manager, but was replaced during spring training by Albert Dominguez. It was speculated that former Major League Baseball World Series champion and Pittsburg Diamonds manager Aaron Miles was going to become manager, but he only assisted in a few games.[3]

After losing their first four games of the 2023 season, the Leprechauns hosted their first regular-season home opener at Fallon Sports Park in Dublin on May 30, defeating the Monterey Amberjacks 6–2.[4] The success was short-lived; the Leprechauns finished at the bottom of the division with a 4–45 record.[5][6]

In February 2024, the Leprechauns announced David Aceron as manager.[6][7] They began their second season on May 30, 2024 with an 11–9 win at home against the San Rafael Pacifics,[8] but subsequently lost their regular season home opener against the Pacifics.[9] Although on July 22 they were in 4th place in the division,[10] they ended the 2024 season with a 24–30 record,[11] 5th of 6 teams in the division.[12]
