History

The club was founded in 1881 and reformed in 1922.[ citation needed ] It was one of the leading Junior Clubs in Irish rugby before attaining All Ireland League Status in the 1999/2000 season. Back then the Club pitches were located in the town in the area where Ashgrove Estate and the Tennis Club are now. Subsequent travels took the Club to Doyle's Field at Tipper East (where the Paddocks estate is now) with the changing rooms being the jockeys room in Naas Racecourse!

In 1974 he Club purchased land at (its current location) Fournaghts, 2 km to the East of Naas town, with the first games taking place there two years later in 1976.

In the 2021/22 season, Naas RFC celebrated its 100th continuous season of playing rugby in Naas.[ citation needed ]
