Introducing
London Irish has been one of the capital’s leading rugby clubs for well over a century, and while the first team has been playing in Reading since 2000 its roots have never left west London.
“In moving to the Brentford Community Stadium we feel confident that we will be able to attract a larger supporter base to join us as we build for the future, reaching out to our previous west London catchment area, to Greater London and the Irish diaspora throughout the UK.”
Mick Crossan, President, London Irish
London Irish had a superb decade at the start of the 2000s, reaching the Premiership Final, European Cup semi-final and winning the Powergen Cup, and producing a string of England international players.
The move back into the capital will be the catalyst for success to return to London’s authentic rugby club.
The Brentford Community Stadium is just a few miles from London Irish’s training base and spiritual home at Hazelwood, Sunbury, and is in an ideal location to be reached from the club’s traditional area in south-west London, those who have begun following the team in the Thames Valley, and new rugby supporters from across the capital.
London Irish is more than just a professional team. The amateur side of the club is one of the largest in London, and every weekend hundreds of rugby players aged from six all the way upwards to the veterans wear the green shirt in matches.
