Welcome to Roscrea Rugby Football Club
A community club with a proud tradition, developing players of all ages and abilities.
A Proud Rugby Tradition in Roscrea
Rugby first took root in Roscrea in 1940 during the Second World War, but the original white-striped side faded by 1944. A fresh chapter began in March 1950 when local international H. M. Read convened a meeting that founded the present club. Inspired by Galway's colours, the committee adopted maroon and white, secured a pitch at Mount Heaton and marked their debut on 1 October 1950 with a 12-0 victory over Birr.
Success followed swiftly: Roscrea lifted the Garryowen Cup in 1952, the Manseragh Cup in 1970 and, most memorably, the Provincial Towns Cup in both 1975 and 1980 - earning the right to test themselves in the Leinster Senior Cup. That spirit of ambition and community continues to define Roscrea Rugby Football Club today, welcoming players and supporters of all ages to Streamstown.
With ever improving facilities and dedicated coaches, we're committed to developing not just great rugby players, but great people. Our values of respect, integrity, passion, solidarity, and discipline underpin everything we do.
