In 2023 Lansdowne’s Paul Clinch was awarded his first Irish cap for proudly representing Ireland on the tour of North America in 1989 against Canada and the USA making him the oldest Lansdowne member in the 150 year history of the club to receive his first cap. Clinch was one of a dozen players who played for Ireland against non 'original rugby nations' who were awarded their caps retrospectively. As well as playing international rugby union for Ireland, at least five Lansdowne players have also represented Ireland and/or Great Britain at other sports. Noel Purcell was also an international water polo player and represented both Great Britain and Ireland at the 1920 and 1924 Summer Olympics respectively.
