club history

Founded in October 1952, Ballymoney Rugby Football Club is now established as one of Ulster’s leading Junior Clubs. Ballymoney currently fields 5 adult teams, offering players opportunities to play at all levels of Junior and Minor rugby. A bridging Under 19 senior team is in its first year and has made an excellent start to its existence.

A strong Youth Section with Under 17, Under 15 and Under 13 teams has developed from excellent
work at Minimaxi level (age 8 – 11) where more than 150 boys and girls enjoy a
structured introduction to our wonderful rugby family.

Our newest development has been the introduction of a Ladies team which is this year exploring the potential for ladies rugby in our area.

The club’s Youth coaches have as their main aims, the encouraging new players to try rugby and assisting existing players with their game and skills development.


We are rightly proud of our history and have produced youth players who have been chosen to represent Ulster and Ireland. Senior players have played for and captained the Junior Ulster side, two have gone on to play for the Senior Ulster side and one played in the World Cup finals in Ireland. Not bad for a small junior Club!



The facilities at Ballymoney Rugby Club are the envy of many of many, with an estate which includes three state-of-the-art sand mattress pitches, training areas and spacious car parking. Our functional and homely club house has just undergone the latest stage of refurbishment which now provides superb social, party and meetings facilities with upgraded provision for special needs, shelter for supporters and a beer garden patio area. There are changing facilities for four teams and referees and a physio room and multi gym complete our estate.

Our new Presidents’ Clock proudly displays the time for all using the busy Belfast to Coleraine road. Presented by a cross section of Past Presidents, it proclaims the dedication of players old and new and the satisfaction that being a member of our club brings.

At Ballymoney we firmly believe that sport is a great common denominator and our facilities are used to make and cement friendships between all creeds, colours and traditions. Ballymoney Rugby Club welcomes all comers to our clubhouse where they can enjoy superb facilities in a friendly atmosphere.

The town of Ballymoney is situated in County Antrim on the North Coast of Ireland. Its situation with easy access to three airports, excellent hotel and tourist amenities such as the world famous Giants Causeway and Old Bushmills Distillery, makes Ballymoney the perfect destination for rugby tours, holidays and trips.
