North of Ireland Football Club is a former Irishrugby union club that was based inBelfast,Northern Ireland. It was the first rugby club formed in what is now Northern Ireland and only two other clubs -Dublin University andWanderers - were formed earlier anywhere else in allIreland.[1][2] It was founded in 1868 by members of North of Ireland Cricket Club.[3] NIFC also played in the first recorded rugby game inUlster when they played a 20-a-side match againstQueen's University RFC.

Throughout its history, NIFC was one of the most successful clubs in Ulster rugby, winning eighteenUlster Senior League titles and eighteenUlster Senior Cup titles. They also played several seasons in theAIB League before merging withCollegians in 1999 to formBelfast Harlequins.[4]

The club left its historic home on the Ormeau Road (one of the earliest international rugby venues in Ireland[5]) after a series of sectarian arson attacks, including the burning of its pavilion. The club, with a mainly Protestant membership, was perceived as being "isolated in a zone of working-class nationalism".[6][7]
