Lansdowne Football Club, is a rugby union team based in Dublin, Ireland.

On two occasions in 1931, Lansdowne supplied the entire Irish three-quarter line (Jack Arigho, Eugene Davy, Morgan Crowe and Ned Lightfoot), one of only three clubs ever to have done so at international level world-wide.

[4] In 2023 Lansdowne’s Paul Clinch was awarded his first Irish cap for proudly representing Ireland on the tour of North America in 1989 against Canada and the USA making him the oldest Lansdowne member in the 150 year history of the club to receive his first cap.

Clinch was one of a dozen players who played for Ireland against non 'original rugby nations' who were awarded their caps retrospectively.

Noel Purcell was also an international water polo player and represented both Great Britain and Ireland at the 1920 and 1924 Summer Olympics respectively.
