2023 Challenge Cup Round 2

Following winning the Irish Rugby League in 2022, Dublin City Exiles have qualified to enter the Challenge Cup based in the UK. It has been a 20 year wait for this momentous occasion.

The 2023 competition will be the 121st edition of the Challenge Cup, the main rugby league knockout tournament in British rugby league run by the Rugby Football League (RFL). This year's competition will be contested by both professional and top amateur clubs.

The Exiles are fund raising to send the team over. We are fundraising for the cost of buses, ferry and accommodation for our mostly young players as we want to put our top team into the competition. Please give generously so we can put our best foot forward to be the 1st Irish team to get a win in the competition. Galway competed last year but despite having put in great effort, they just fell short.

After winning round 1 of the challenge cup we progress to the second round on the 25th February against Orrell St James ARLFC. Let's have em. Mighty Exiles Are We.
