Senior Women: Team Members

Overview

Senior rugby in Ontario is open to players 19+, played under full-contact World Rugby Laws, and welcomes athletes of all experience levels. Markham Irish competes in the TRU Premiership with a strong emphasis on player safety, skill development, and team play. While we proudly support players at every stage of their rugby journey, many Markham Irish women have gone on to play at the post-secondary, provincial and national levels.

The program also carries a strong tradition of success, including an OWL Cup championship in 2006, an OWL League title in 2008, and multiple TRU championships.
