Washington Irish Rugby Football Club

d. The club has become one of the strongest teams in the Potomac Rugby Union, and ranks usually third or fourth in the territory in size. Its players have gone to be select side players, referees, local administrators, and there are administrators at the USA Rugby national level. Players who have played for the Irish, whether they have played for a season or longer, have become ambassadors of the game and can be found in leadership and player positions of other clubs throughout the United States and abroad. Even during war, the team has sponsored teams in Saudi Arabia and Iraq., and our players have travelled with Irish gear to Afghanistan, Hong Kong, and even Abu Dhabi. There are players throughout the world wearing the Irish crest - that same crest that was conceived 41 years ago.
