Bohemian RFC was founded in 1922 and had their first Transfield Cup success two years later and their first Munster Senior Cup success in 1927.[5] In 1999, they amalgamated with the University of Limerick in 1999,[6] although the University has its own separate colleges' competition teams.

It avails of UL's world-class training facilities to provide a pathway for players to achieve their rugby goals, whether that is to play senior, provincial or international rugby.[7]

The academy has an outstanding record for producing exceptional talent. Tommy O'Donnell, JJ Hanrahan, Dave Kilcoyne and Dave Foley are all academy graduates currently playing at the highest level. Former Connacht player Keith Matthews is academy manager and Cathal Sheridan is academy sports psychologist.
