The club, based at ALSAA opposite Dublin Airport, have agreed a three year deal with Wright's, who are now the official club sponsor.
Swords RFC President, Richard Cowman, was delighted with the deal, which he said will bring together two of north county Dublin's best known names.

‘It's great news that Wright's have agreed to come on board for the next three seasons,' Mr Cowman said. ‘We're an ambitious club with big plans for the future and we feel we couldn't ask for a bigger or better partner to assist us in making those plans a reality. ‘It's Swords' best known bar and we hope our association will raise the profile of both Swords RFC and Wright's Café Bar throughout the country.'

Wright's Café Bar opened on the Malahide Road in Swords in 2001 and has established itself as one of Dublin's hottest nightspots. It has also proved to be a popular daytime eatery and with a restaurant and wine bar extension currently under construction, it's set to become even more in demand. Wright's have also been granted permission for a €38 million entertainment complex at Airside Retail Park, Swords, including a nightclub, restaurants and retail outlets, with work on the development set to begin next year.

Wright's Group Manager Alan Clancy said both he and owner Michael Wright were looking ahead to successful times, on and off the pitch. ‘Myself and Michael are delighted to be associated with Swords Rugby Club,' Mr Clancy said. ‘Going forward, we are hoping to help bring growth and success to Swords RFC and are look forward to a good relationship.'
