UCD Rugby raised an incredible €70,177.79 for the Irish Cancer Society during their 2026 Daffodil Day campaign in March. The amount raised adds to the remarkable total the club has generated for the charity in recent years, which now exceeds €250,000. Four individuals were recognised by the Irish Cancer Society with Community Champion pins for their outstanding support of the campaign this year: Rob Mullee (UCD Student Centre Manager), Des Moran (Café Brava Hospitality Catering), Rory MacMahon (UCD RFC Club Member), and Ciara O’Connor (UCD RFC Club Manager).
