The club was founded in 1996 after the amalgamation of the Curragh and Old Kilcullen clubs.
Close to the end of the 1995/1996 season, it seemed clear that the future of rugby in County Kildare was under threat. Despite them having very successful youth teams, both the Curragh and Old Kilcullen clubs were struggling a great deal because of those players moving away.
In May 1995, there were talks of a possible merger between them, but had fizzled out by August of that year. They eventually resumed with their plans in November, with both clubs being represented by four executive members each; Curragh by Harry Quirke (President), Don O'Keeffe (Chairman), Con McNamara (a member of the original merger team) and Sean Hayes (a new member of the merger team) and Old Kilcullen by Ollie Delaney (President), Niall Kidd (Chairman), Rory O'Carroll (Secretary) and Kieran Murphy (Treasurer).
