The Club is the biggest rugby club in Kildare with one of the biggest underage structures in Leinster. The club grounds is located at Forenaughts, 2 km outside the town.
The club was founded in 1881 and reformed in 1922. It was one of the leading Junior Clubs in Irish rugby before attaining All Ireland League Status in the 1999/2000 season. Back then the Club was located in the town where Ashgrove Estate and the Tennis Club is now. Subsequent travels took the Club to Doyle's Field at Tipper East (where The Paddocks estate is now) with the changing rooms being the jockeys room in Naas Racecourse! The Club then moved to its current location in Fournaughts, 2 km to the East of Naas town.
In the 2011/12 season, Naas RFC celebrated its 90th continuous season of playing rugby in Naas.
