Jamie Finn (born 21 April 1998) is an Irish professional footballer who plays for English Women's Super League 2 club Sunderland A.F.C. and the Republic of Ireland women's national team. She previously represented Shelbourne in her native Dublin and is capable of playing in either defence or midfield.[5] In 2016 Finn spent a short time in college soccer with Florida Gulf Coast Eagles, where her coach Jim Blankenship declared: "Jamie is an excellent ball-winner and her ability to play along the backline and in midfield will be a great asset to us".[6]

Finn was born in Dublin and grew up in Swords. She played soccer with Swords Manor from five years old until she had to leave at 13 due to rules against mixed-sex football.[7] She then moved to Shelbourne's girls' youth system.

Finn joined Raheny United during the 2014–15 Women's National League season. In April 2015 she scored a late equaliser in the WNL Cup final at Tolka Park, to force extra time. Katie McCabe then scored to secure Raheny's 3–2 win over rivals Peamount United.[8] Before the 2015–16 campaign Raheny United merged into Shelbourne, so Finn returned to The Reds.[5]

In 2016 Finn played college soccer for the Florida Gulf Coast Eagles,[6] she started three of her five appearances, scoring one goal and serving one assist.[9]

After re-joining Shelbourne, Finn represented the club in the 2017–18 UEFA Women's Champions League qualifying round in Belfast.[10] She displayed good form in the 2019 Women's National League, being named WNL Player of the Month for May 2019[11] and named in the WNL Team of the Season.[12]

In August 2021 Finn left Shelbourne to sign a one-year professional contract with English FA Women's Super League (WSL) club Birmingham City.[13] In July 2022 she agreed to extend her contract with relegated Birmingham for another year, with the option of a further year.[14]

On 24 July 2025, it was announced that Finn had signed with Women's Super League 2 club Sunderland.[15]
