History
Ardee RFC was founded in 1980 after a meeting of 22 people from Ardee Golf Club, they wanted to provide a rugby club for youths and juveniles in the mid-Louth area. The first adult match was played on St. Stephen's Day and against Athboy RFC, Ardee RFC officially began competing in the 1983/84 season.[2]
In the 1988/89 season, the club purchased land at Townspark and it has been the club grounds of Ardee RFC since.[2]
