Welcome to Emerald Warriors RFC
Since 2003, the Emerald Warriors RFC has been Ireland's leading LGBT+ inclusive rugby club.

Committed to integrity, professionalism and community spirit, we offer a space where members feel valued and supported.
Whether you're new to the sport or a seasoned player, there's a place for you here — a club where people connect, grow and belong.
Message from the President
At the Emerald Warriors, we believe rugby is a powerful tool for inclusion, connection and progress. Our club is somewhere people can be themselves, challenge themselves and support one another.
We take pride in our legacy and are ambitious about the exciting adventures ahead. With a focus on performance, wellbeing and community, we’re building a club that reflects the best of sport, open, ambitious and welcoming to all.
Whether you’re here to play, learn or connect, there’s a place for you.
