History

Navan were founded in 1925 and played their first match at the Meath County Showgrounds groundsharing with Navan O'Mahonys GAA. They spent most of their existence in their first forty years as a nomadic club with no fixed home ground. In 1964, the club purchased land in Balreask Old Townland for IR£660 for a permanent rugby pitch and clubhouse. In 2000, the clubhouse was renovated and funded via land sales and through support of the Minister for the Environment. In 2019, Navan received an anonymous donation to fund the erection of new rugby posts.

Achievements

Navan won their first trophy, the Ryan Cup in 1930. They also won the Provincial Town Cup ten times between 1964 and 2008. Navan won their first Leinster League Division 1A which entered them into the inter-provincial play-offs to enter the All-Ireland League but were unsuccessful in gaining promotion. In 2009, they won the Leinster title again and in the play-offs, they defeated City of Derry, Cashel and Monivea to earn qualification into the All-Ireland League for the first time. In 2016, the All-Ireland league was restructured with Navan being placed in Division 2C, the lowest division.
