The Calgary Canadian Irish Athletic Club (CCIAC) is a sports club based in the northeast of Calgary, Alberta.

The club runs a number of rugby union and field hockey teams for both men and women as well as a number of junior programs.

History

The club was founded in 1971. The idea of forming a rugby football club based on the Irish community in Calgary was conceived by Derrick Wright and Jim Sullivan to name but two. It was decided not to confine the club's activities to rugby, but to promote other amateur sports, to improve and maintain the moral, intellectual, physical and social qualities of its members and to stimulate good citizenship and friendship.

The club has been committed to being a premier outdoor athletic club in Calgary ever since 1971, and one of the most successful rugby programs in Western Canada.
