Katie Fitzhenry (born 23 April 1989)[1] is a women's rugby union player from Wexford, County Wexford, Republic of Ireland. She plays as a centre for Blackrock College RFC, Leinster Rugby, the Ireland women's national rugby union team and the Ireland women's national rugby sevens team.[1]

Career

Fitzhenry started playing rugby while at Loreto Secondary School after having previously played camogie and Gaelic football for Wexford GAA.[2][3] After leaving school, she was one of the founding members of Wexford Wanderers RFC's women's team.[3] She made her provincial debut for Leinster against Ulster in 2010 following a successful trial and a move to Dublin club Blackrock College in order to play higher level rugby.[2][3] Following this, she was signed by the Irish Rugby Football Union as a centrally contracted rugby sevens player and was one of the first players to sign up to the Irish Institute of Sport's career development course at Griffith College.[4] While balancing training for both the rugby union and rugby sevens teams, she worked part-time in a number of juice bars.[2] In 2015, she made her debut for the Ireland women's national rugby union team in the Women's Six Nations Championship against Italy. A week later she made her first start for Ireland, playing as a centre against France.[5]

In 2017, Fitzhenry was selected as part of Ireland's 2017 Women's Rugby World Cup squad. She played in the tournament and she scored a try in Ireland's seventh place playoff against Wales at Ravenhill Stadium in Belfast, Northern Ireland.[6]
