Highfield Rugby Football Club is a rugby union club based in Cork, Ireland, playing in Division 1B of the All-Ireland League. The club was founded in 1930 and was elevated to senior status in the province of Munster in 1953. Before moving to its present grounds at Woodleigh Park, the club was based in fields off Magazine Road between Highfield Avenue and Highfield West, where the team derived its name. The current ground is now located near a park called Highfield Lawn. The club currently fields teams in Division 1B of the All-Ireland League.[citation needed] Irish Rugby union International.
The club also has a women's team who participate in Division 1 of the All Ireland League (AIL), featuring two former Irish International players, Laura Guest and Heather O'Brien[2] who were part of the 2013 Six Nations Grand Slam winning team. The Munster Cup competition was retired in 2013 meaning that the club retain the cup as they were the holders in that season.[3]
