Report

Notre Dame are a Basketball team based in Firhouse, Dublin 24 (Co. South Dublin). the Men’s Team joined the Men’s Budweiser National League in 1993-94, playing in the new National Basketball arena, in nearby Tymon, Dublin 24. They were the Tallaght Area side in the Men’s League at the time and after being relegated to the new Division 1 for the 1994-95 season they were immediately promoted winning the Division with a 12-2 Wins-Losses record.

While they never won the Men’s Super League title they were the Cup specialists winning the Men’s National Cup four years in succession from 1996-97 to 1999-2000 defeating St Vincent’s 80-75 in 1996-97, Neptune 79-73 in 1997-98, Blue demons 82-61 in 1998-99 and then St. vincent’s again 69-67 in 1999-2000, while also winning the League Playoffs that year, doing the double over St. Vincent’s with a 93-74 victory.

in 2003 the Men’s Team was split from the Underage Teams, which continued to play in the Dublin Leagues, as the Team was taken over by Shamrock Rovers Football Club, which had aimed at the time to become more like a European multi-sports club. The team was renamed Shamrock Rovers HOOPS for the 2003-04 season.
