This includes legends such as Moss Keane, Eugene Davy, Ernie Crawford, Ned Lightfoot, Mick Dunne, Jack Arigho, Morgan Crowe, Robin Roe, Mick English, Pat Casey, Sean MacHale, Gordon Wood, Alan "Dixie" Duggan, Barry Bresnihan, Barry McGann, Mick Quinn, Noel Mannion, Eric Elwood, Philip Danaher, Michael Kiernan (dropped the goal to win 1985 Triple Crown), Conor O’Shea, Donal and Dick Spring (former Tanaiste), Michael Gibson, Des Fitzgerald, Eric Elwood, and, of course, the great Con Murphy (the only player to represent Ireland both before and after the Second World War). Con was captain of the famous Irish team which defeated England 22-0 in the first official post-war international in 1947.

On two occasions in 1931, Lansdowne supplied the entire Irish three-quarter line (Jack Arigho, Eugene Davy, Morgan Crowe and Ned Lightfoot), one of only three clubs ever to have done so at international level world-wide.
