Ready to make a difference?
Rotary isn’t just something you join — it’s something you do. Our members come from every walk of life, but they share one thing: the belief that giving back matters.
Whether you’re a seasoned professional, a recent graduate, a retiree looking for purpose, or simply someone who wants to help — there’s a place for you in one of our 65 clubs across Ireland.
What to expect
Your first visit. Most clubs welcome guests at their regular meetings. You’ll meet the members, hear about current projects, and get a feel for the club. There’s no pressure and no hard sell — just a warm welcome.
Finding the right fit. Every club is different. Some meet over dinner, some over breakfast, some online. Some are in city centres, others in market towns. We’ll help you find a club that matches your location, schedule, and interests.
Getting started. Once you’ve found a club you’d like to join, the club will invite you to attend a few meetings before formalising your membership. You’ll be guided through the process by your club’s membership team.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be invited?
Not any more. While Rotary was traditionally invitation-based, most clubs now welcome direct enquiries. Just get in touch.
What does it cost?
Membership fees vary by club, typically covering Rotary International dues, district dues, and club running costs. Your local club can give you exact figures.
How much time does it take?
Flexible. Most members attend one meeting a week and contribute a few hours a month to projects. There’s no minimum commitment — clubs work around your schedule.
I don’t know anyone in Rotary.
That’s absolutely fine. Most new members join without knowing anyone. You’ll quickly build friendships — that’s one of the best things about it.
Is Rotary religious or political?
No. Rotary is a secular organisation, part of Rotary International, open to people of all faiths, backgrounds, and political views. What unites us is a commitment to service and ethical conduct.
Take the next step.
If anything in Rotary appeals to you — the service, the friendships, the global network, the chance to actually do something useful — then it’s worth attending a meeting and seeing for yourself. No obligation, no commitment.
