WELCOME TO KILLARNEY RFC

Welcome to Killarney RFC – Home of Community Rugby in South Kerry

The current Club was reformed in 1983, with Killarney RFC is a proud, inclusive rugby club based in Aghadoe, County Kerry. From humble beginnings, the club has grown into a thriving rugby community, offering playing opportunities for boys and girls from age 6 all the way through to senior men’s and women’s teams.

At the heart of Killarney RFC is a deep commitment to developing players of all abilities, fostering a love for the game, and creating a welcoming environment for players, coaches, volunteers, and supporters alike. Whether you’re looking to play competitively, stay active, make lifelong friends, or be part of something special, there’s a place for you at Killarney RFC.

We are affiliated with Munster Rugby and the IRFU, and our teams compete across regional and provincial competitions. The club is also proud of its growing youth and girls’ sections, which are some of the fastest-growing in Munster.

OUR VALUES

We are a club built by the community, for the community. From mini rugby players to senior teams, volunteers to lifelong supporters, everyone plays a role in making Killarney RFC a special place. We support one another, celebrate together, and look after our own.

Respect is at the core of rugby and of our club. We respect our teammates, our coaches, our opponents, and the officials. We teach our players to play hard and fair, and to carry themselves with integrity in every match, training session, and interaction.

Rugby is a game for everyone, and Killarney RFC welcomes players of all genders, backgrounds, and abilities. We are proud of our inclusive culture and are committed to providing a safe, supportive environment where every player can thrive.

We are passionate about developing rugby skills and values for life. From grassroots to senior level, we focus on helping players grow in confidence, ability, and character. Whether someone is playing for fun or chasing competitive goals, we’re here to support that journey.

Above all, rugby should be fun. We foster a positive environment where players enjoy learning the game, building friendships, and being part of a team. Winning is great, but the lifelong memories made at Killarney RFC matter just as much.
