The club purchased our Moorpark Grounds, consisting of 4.5 acres in the centre of Birr Town in 1963 after reforming and proceeded to win the Midland League in 1963-64 and has been in continuous existence since then.

A thriving underage rugby culture evolved in Birr RFRC under the guidance of a continuous stream of volunteer coaches and mentors over the intervening years and the club purchased a further 7.5 acres of land in 1975 approx 4 km south of Birr off the N52 road in Ballyeigan.

In the early ‘70s the County Arms Hotel provided facilities until 1983 after a merger with the Ormond Lawn Tennis Club.

Birr's youths section embarked on their very first international tour when 39 players and eleven accompanying coaches/adults were hosted by Ellon RFC, near Aberdeen, in Scotland.

Losing many of its players to retirement, the 1999/2000 season was very disappointing for the club as it was demoted to Division 4 of the Leinster League.

Ellon RFC won the specially commissioned CARA Cup and both club twinned at Youth level.

Peter Dooley represented Ireland at youth level including the 2014 U-20 World Cup and Six Nations, and has progressed from the Leinster academy to being a full member of the first team squad.

Originally starting in the sub academy in Leinster he eventually switched to Connacht and went on to become a full member of the first team squad.
