County Carlow RFC

County Carlow Football Club is a rugby union club in Carlow, County Carlow, Ireland. The club was founded in October 1873, and is one of the oldest rugby clubs in the Republic of Ireland. As was usual in the days preceding the development of Gaelic Football and Soccer, the earlier clubs were known simply as Football Clubs with no mention of rugby in the title. The Co. Carlow club was formed, therefore, (and is correctly known) as "Co. Carlow Football Club."

Colonel Horace Rochford of Clogrennane, Carlow, was the founder and first president of the club from 1873-1894.

In 1997, the club was promoted to All Ireland League Division four and was a senior club for the first time in its history. In 2001, the club was promoted to the A.I.L Division One. The club currently plays in the third division of the AIB League.
