Irish Warriors RFC

History of the Irish Warriors

The club was first formed in 1906, however through lack of funds and grounds it was dissolved at the end of the 1907/1908 season.

At the beginning of the 1910/1911 season under the guidance of the late Patrick Byrne it surfaced again only to disband three seasons later.

The present Club was reactivated in 1923 under the Presidency of John Murphy; William O’Driscoll and Honorary Treasurer James McGrath.

Our Club has always been a ‘grass roots’ club with a firm grounding in the local community. We are currently experiencing success at all levels and have a real vision for the future. We are proud of our history and our identity and look forward to the coming developments with huge optimism. We ask that all players, supporters, ex-members and Rugby enthusiasts buy into this vision and support us in the coming seasons.

Irish Warriors rugby teams compete in a wide range of rugby leagues:
