London Irish RFC is an English rugby union club based in Sunbury, Surrey, where the senior squad train, and the youth teams and senior academy play home games, and the club maintain their administrative offices, although the senior squad play home games at the Madejski Stadium in Reading. The professional club share the Sunbury facilities with London Irish Amateur RFC and compete in the top division of English rugby union, the Aviva Premiership. The club also compete in the Anglo-Welsh Cup as well as one of the two Europe-wide club competitions—the Heineken Cup or European Challenge Cup, depending on their performance in the previous season. The club play at the Madejski Stadium in Reading, Berkshire, some 40 miles west of central London, until 2026. The decision has earned the club the nickname the Not-nots, referring to team not playing in London and having a limited amount of Irish players.
