Dublin University, founded in 1854, was the first organised Rugby Football Club in Ireland. Other clubs that were established at the time and exist to this day include the Wanderers founded in 1869; Lansdowne (1873); Dungannon (1873) and UCC (1874)
Tag rugby recently became the fastest growing summer recreational sport in all of Ireland. This exciting and dynamic team sport can be played by both men and women of all ages and skill levels. It is also fun, sociable and appeals to everyone aged between the ages of 20 and 60. Tag Rugby is primarily about running and passing, which means agility, speed and good hand-eye coordination become more important than brute force and strength. It therefore compliments a whole range of other sports, from soccer to Gaelic football, swimming and tennis.
