Men's senior team
The Irish rugby team have enjoyed significant success on the pitch, including the 2014 Six Nations title, 2015 Six Nations title, reaching the Quarter Finals in the 2015 Rugby World Cup, 2018 Six Nations Grand Slam and momentous wins against South Africa, New Zealand All Blacks, and England.
Mini rugby festival grassroots
The ethos of mini rugby is to foster and develop young players (boys & girls) of all abilities to play rugby in a safe, non competitive, and fun environment through activities which encourage skill development for children in line with the IRFU Long Term Player Development (LTPD) pathway, Safeguarding and the Spirit of Rugby.
Provincial festivals are held in September and October each year, where all participating teams are in with a chance to play at the National Festival in Aviva Stadium each May.
We are delighted to make the dreams of young children come true each year by playing on the same pitch as their Irish Rugby heroes.
