About

Phibsboro is one of the longest established clubs in Dublin and the largest club on the Northside, if not the entire city. The club was established in 1954, and further information on the history of the club is available here. We cater for players from beginner up to 2300+. We have had 3 former Irish champions amongst our membership and we always welcome new faces.

New members are always welcome!
