focussed on ‘Functional Movement for <strong>Rugby</strong>’<br />
and was aimed at minis and age-grade coaches<br />
in the women’s game. The second webinar took<br />

The IRFU has allocated €4 million of the €18<br />
million emergency funding it received from<br />
Government to help clubs towards the losses<br />
they suffered due to COVID-19’s impact on club<br />
rugby activity in 2020. The funding is drawn<br />
from the Sport Ireland COVID-19 Emergency<br />
Fund for Sport provided to the IRFU to address<br />
the existential threat to Irish <strong>Rugby</strong> across its<br />
clubs, provinces and national teams. Club<br />
funding is directly linked to verifiable losses<br />
submitted by clubs, to the IRFU in a scheme<br />
administered by the IRFU as part of the<br />
application process overseen by Sport Ireland.<br />
All 166 eligible clubs were invited to apply for<br />
funding. The objective of the process was to<br />
be accessible, rigorous, equitable and provide<br />
urgent financial assistance to clubs facing the<br />
prospect of insolvency or closure in 2020.<br />
