The idea of forming a rugby football club based on the Irish community in Calgary was conceived by Derrick Wright and Jim Sullivan to name but two.

It was decided not to confine the club's activities to rugby, but to promote other amateur sports, to improve and maintain the moral, intellectual, physical and social qualities of its members and to stimulate good citizenship and friendship.

Julian Loveday (1999) Quinten Fyffe (2003) Ryan Smith (2007, 2011) In 1973 a ladies field hockey section of the club was formed.

In 1993 the club was the first rugby club in Calgary to open its own clubhouse and playing fields, complete with 2 full size rugby pitches and 2 field hockey pitches.

The club fields three senior men's teams (Alberta cup, Calgary 2nd & 3rd division).
