WHY JOIN US? 

Monkstown is one of the oldest Rugby Clubs in Ireland; founded in 1883/1884, just three years after the formation of the Irish Rugby Football Union in 1880.

We are immensely proud of our heritage and our well founded reputation as a club that is both friendly , inclusive and well anchored in the local Sandymount community since 1901.

We have rugby teams that cater for all skills and fitness levels. Our senior team plays in AIL Division 2 C and junior and social teams compete in various competitions.

Sydney Parade, our wonderfully appointed grounds, is right in the heart of Sandymount and within walking distance of the Dart and major bus routes CI,C2, S2 and 47.

The club is also the place to be on Sunday mornings as our ever eager minis take to the field. It’s a great place for parents to introduce children to the game of rugby and enjoy a coffee with friends and neighbours.

We organise a packed calendar of events, club nights, tag tournaments and have a great atmospheric bar for you to enjoy.

Sports helps improve camaraderie, leadership and teamwork. Hence, it is more important to start playing sports at a young age. Children who play sports learn the rules naturally; self-management skills, team awareness and collaboration skills develop far faster than others.

Families that play sports together will develop stronger bonds, learn how to engage in healthy competition, and will make memories that last a lifetime.
