Birr RFC is proud to support Irish Rugby’s campaign for the 2026/27 season. 💚🖤

The campaign promotes a positive, welcoming environment where everyone involved in rugby is treated with respect, both on and off the pitch.

The opening phase *Setting the Standard* month, introduces the Respect Our Game Agreement and new Code of Conduct. We encourage all players, coaches, volunteers, members and supporters to read, share and uphold these standards throughout the season.

Let’s play our part in making rugby enjoyable and welcoming for everyone.

For more information, visit the IRFU website.

🏉 The club has a limited number of tickets still available for Ireland’s 2026 Nations Championship matches against Argentina and Fiji this November.

Don’t miss your chance to cheer on Ireland! ☘️

Some photos from our senior men’s game against Swords last Saturday. A great afternoon at home, with Birr securing a 40-12 win and plenty of action captured along the way!

Well done to the players and coaches, and thanks to everyone who came out to support the lads. 💚🖤

On Sunday, our U14 and U16 Ravens girls travelled to Dexcom Stadium in Galway to cheer on the Ireland women’s team against Japan.

It was a brilliant day for the girls, made even better by an Ireland win! A great chance to watch some top level rugby together and make memories off the pitch. 💚🖤
