History

The Dublin City Exiles were formed in 2000 by a number of Australian expatriates based in Dublin.[1] Rugby League Ireland (the governing body for the development of rugby league in Ireland) was formed the same year, and in the first RLI season the Exiles reached the 2001 All Ireland final.[2] The club, competing in the Leinster Conference of the Ireland National League, went on to win the 2002 and 2003 All Ireland finals.[2][3]

Over the years, a number of players from the club have received caps for (or been named in training squad for) the Ireland men's national rugby league team.[4] As of April 2019, the Exiles are the only rugby league team in Dublin.
