About

New Ross RFC is an Irish rugby team based in New Ross, County Wexford, playing in Division 2A of the Leinster League.

Along with fielding competitive Men's J1 and J2 teams weekly (along with a 3rd team for competing in the Anderson Cup [Provincial J3]), New Ross also has a ladies team and a highly successful underage section – ranging from U-8's all the way up to Youths. This youth section has provided the club with both Provincial and International representation.

New Ross RFC is the home club of current Irish International Tadhg Furlong. Tadhg played rugby in New Ross from minis up to under 19's. In 2010 he helped New Ross win the Leinster League premier division, playing on a team that also included 3 time All Ireland winning hurler Walter Walsh.
