We were founded in 2015 as Blessington RFC where the club grew around one town. As the only club in West Wicklow, Blessington RFC gradually outgrew its name. Having players coming from every town and village from Baltinglass to Brittas.

In 2026, what was formerly Blessington RFC, became West Wicklow RFC. A name and identity fitting to the community we truly represent. West Wicklow RFC is the embodiment of the natural growth of rugby in the area, with a renewed focus on the community within it.

West Wicklow RFC is more than a local club. We are part of the national IRFU and Leinster Rugby network, competing and developing talent as we engage communities across the region.
