History

Foundation

Unidare Rugby Football Club was founded in 1958 out of the, now defunct, Unidare works in Finglas. During the foundation years (1958-1977) the club participated in the Business Houses Cup Competition and took part in friendly matches during the rest of the season. The club did not have their own grounds but were given the use of a playing field and dressing rooms in Blackrock College by Father Shields.

Business Houses League

In 1977 the Business Houses League was formed. At that time Unidare Rugby Football Club was given grounds in Unidare Industrial estate on Jamestown Road, Finglas. This was developed further by the club with dressing rooms, training lights etc. The club did well in the Business Houses League, wining it for the first time in the 1980-1981 season. AIB had won the competition for the first three seasons of the competition. The club continued to participate in this competition during the 1980s.

Recent developments

In 1990 the club lost its playing fields when Unidare plc sold the land for development, and the club was hosted by Suttonians RFC and Malahide RFC for different seasons. 2005 saw Unidare RFC forming an alliance with Dublin City University Sports to play and train in the Ballymun grounds.

In recent years, the club has undergone a revival in interest and membership, and has focused in particular on development of its youth teams. In the 2007/08 season, the club's first competitive Youth side created history by coming runners-up in the Dublin Metro U-18 League, at their very first attempt.
