History
Coolmine RFC was founded on 26 November 1980 in Coolmine, close to the growing suburbs of Blanchardstown and Castleknock by Mr. Eugene Cadogan and Dr Bill Linehan. The club originally played matches on pitches rented from the local council and used Coolmine Sports Complex as its main facility. The first mini rugby at Coolmine was played in 1981. The club won the Dowling cup for the first time in 1984. In 1985, new lands were purchased at nearby Ashbrook, and pitches were officially opened in 1987. In 1991, the club was promoted to the Junior 1 league and work began on a new clubhouse facility. The new clubhouse was officially opened by then President of Ireland, Mary Robinson, in 1993.
