Club Information

The North Kildare Club is located at The Maws, which is between Maynooth and Kilcock. The Club offers a wide range of sports facilities to all ages andabilities. Formed in 1926, the club was orginally known as the North Kildare Tennis and Cricket Club. The rugby section is belived to have begun in 1928. Rugby had little impact untill the 1940’s. It was not untill 1954 that they won their 1st Towns cup and again in 1958. We setup the Colman Flynn Cup which was an annual ‘Sevens’ competion. This became a huge event in 60’ and 70’s with teams travelling from all over to play in. In 1973-74 we won the Towns plate and Anderson cup in the 70’s. In the 80’s NKRFC had a strong section winning and reaching many finals.

Our mins and Youth sections have produced some fine palyers some that have gone on to represent Leinster and Ireland. The most recent names , Devin Toner, Will Connors and Bob Casey. Our senior section consistes of 2 teams and a sometimes U20’s. Teams are made up of ex youths and schools youths who attended rugby playing schools for a period and also all new members coming to the Noth Kildare area.
