CYM RFC is a Irish rugby team based in Terenure, Dublin. They play in Division Two of the Leinster League. The club colours are green, purple and white. In addition to rugby, the club also runs among others tennis, bowls, table tennis, cricket and football sections.

History

The club was founded in 1924 by eight members of the Catholic Young Men's Society. Later that year saw the acquisition of St. Mary's, the club's headquarters, which is still in use. In the spring of 1925 the first CYM side took the field changed in stables, accompanied by a horse used for cutting grass and rolling the field.

Motto

In 2009, as part of their new playing kit, the English Rugby Union team incorporated the team's Latin motto into the design of their new jersey. This motto rugbeia floreat ubique, (meaning 'let rugby flourish everywhere'), led to CYM adopting a new club motto, Rugbeia tunc sextarii (meaning 'Rugby, then pints'). Having no coat-of-arms and no reference to any past history, this motto was seen to embody the 'spirit' of CYM's playing style.
