Club Details: Ulster Rugby
Ulster Rugby are also known as the White Knights, and as the Ulstermen.
Following the partition of the island of Ireland and the establishment of Northern Ireland in 1921 the then Committee of the Irish Rugby Football Union decided that it would continue to administer its affairs on the basis of the 32 Irish counties and the traditional four provinces of Ireland - Connacht, Leinster, Munster and Ulster. This means that six of the nine counties of the Ulster Branch are in Northern Ireland with the remaining three in the Irish Republic.
To maintain the unity of Irish rugby and the linkages between North and South the IRFU purchased a new ground in 1923 in the Ravenhill district of Belfast at a cost of £2300.00. The ground was enclosed and a stand accommodating 3500 built at a cost of £15,500.
They finished in 5th place in the 2006/07 season.
