Blackthorn Rugby CLub

Founded in 1971 The Blackthorn Rugby Football Club indeed has a storied and successful past, a vibrant present, and exciting future. From a solitary Men’s program initially, the club currently fields a Men’s – Highschool, two youth teams for Under 15 and Under 13 boys and girls as well as a summer flag team for age 5 to 14 boys and girls. We have recently launched a new side the Barbarians it is an inclusive mixed ability team the first in the USA!

Blackthorn has played in the Irish Emerald Green jersey since its inception in 1971. The club crest, a crossed shamrock and shillelagh on a gold field with the name of the club scrolled across the top, is embroidered on the left chest. Black shorts and our notorious green and gold hooped socks round out the kit.
