The Irish are a Division 3 men's rugby club located in the heart of the Midwest. Located in the Quad City area the Irish boast players from both Iowa and Illinois. The Quad Cities is a thriving metropolis nestled along the Mississippi river made up of 5 major communities; Rock Island , Moline , East Moline on the Illinois side and Davenport and Bettendorf on the Iowa side.

The Irish carry an A side, can muster a B side, run a Summer 7's side, a highschool Men's and Women's side and can (with the help of Pearl City) put together an old boy's side.  Irish teams have brought home numerous tournament championships among them the 7's National Championship in 1985. The Irish have also grown top level athelete's within the rugby community, sending 6 players to the USA Eagles, among them Tom Billups the Eagles head coach. Irish recent accomplishments are a birth in the Division III Midwest sweet sixteen.

Practices are held on Tuesday and Thursdays at 6:00 at our pitch behind the airport in Moline. Anybody that wants to get a run in or learn more about rugby is more than welcome to join us. Our games are at 1pm on Saturdays in the Spring and Fall. We have parties immediately following all of our home games at Bent River Brewery. Everybody that comes to the game is invited. It's a tradition in rugby that the home teams thows a party for the visiting team.
