Berlin Irish RFC is a German rugby club from Berlin, currently playing rugby union in the Rugby-Regionalliga, and participating in the German Women's Sevens Series, as well as in the Berlin-Brandenburg Sevens Series. [1] [2] [3] [4]

The club was formed in 2016, having both women's and men's teams since the beginning. [2] [5] [6] Later added several youth rugby divisions, and a mixed-gender touch rugby team in 2024. [7] [8]

Since 2018 the Berlin Irish host an annual beach rugby tournament with a men's/mixed and women's competition at BeachMitte with teams visiting from all over Germany, Austria and the United Kingdom. After two events, there was a two-year break due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the tournament resumed in 2022. [9]
