The 2025/26 rugby season kicked off at Balreask Old with a full slate of matches for Navan RFC’s senior men’s teams across the McGowan Cup, Jenkinson Cup, and Leinster Senior League. While results went against the club, there were plenty of positives to build on as new players made their debuts and younger talent gained valuable senior experience.

The Men’s 3rd XV faced a difficult challenge in their derby clash against North Meath. The visitors proved clinical on the night, but Navan battled hard throughout in front of the home support.
