The Carlow Crusaders were a rugby league team based in Carlow, Ireland. They played in the Irish Elite League. They played home games at Oak Park, Carlow. The Crusaders were forced to play most of their games in Cill Dara RFC, Kildare as Oak Park is owned & used by Carlow RFC.[citation needed]
In September 2008, Carlow defeated the Treaty City Titans 24–8 to win the Carnegie League grand final.[1]
On 9 July 2011, Carlow were due to play in the All Ireland Final. The match was cancelled as a result of Carlow not travelling[2] and in August an independent disciplinary panel found Carlow guilty of bringing the game into disrepute.[3] A statement regarding their appeal against the decision was made in October 2011.[4]
