Tredegar Ironsides Rugby Football Club is a rugby union, from Tredegar in South Wales. The club is a member of the Welsh Rugby Union and is a feeder club for the Newport Gwent Dragons.[2]

The Ironsides were formed in 1946 from returning World War II servicemen, after meeting in a local public house, the Talbot Hotel. Their first game was against a club from Rhymney, which Tredegar won.

Gareth S. Kearney holds the record for most points in a season.
