For more than two decades, Netwatch has called Carlow home. While the company has grown into a global leader in proactive video monitoring, protecting more than 300,000 sites worldwide, its commitment to the local community has remained unchanged.
One of the clearest examples of that commitment is Netwatch’s longstanding sports sponsorship partnership with County Carlow Rugby Club — a relationship built on shared values of teamwork, safety, community, and family.
Supporting a Club at the Heart of Carlow
Founded in October 1873, County Carlow Rugby Club is the second-oldest rugby club in Ireland and has been an important part of the local community for more than 150 years.
Throughout its history, generations of players have proudly represented the club in its iconic black and amber colours. Today, the club continues to provide opportunities for players of all ages, with a strong focus on three core values:
- Community
- Teamwork
- Passion
More than just a rugby club, it serves as a gathering place where families, volunteers, supporters, and athletes come together to build lasting relationships both on and off the pitch.
A Partnership Built on Shared Values
For Netwatch, supporting County Carlow Rugby Club represents much more than sponsorship.
The partnership reflects the company’s belief that strong communities are built through investment in the organisations that bring people together. Just as Netwatch works every day to help create safer environments around the world, it also believes in strengthening the communities where its own employees and their families live.
These shared values have made the partnership a natural fit.
“Working with Netwatch has given us amazing opportunities to improve our facilities,” said Muireann Brennan. “These additions have transformed the club into a place where families, players, and residents can unite. Netwatch’s commitment to our club and the wider community has been a game-changer for the club.”
Investing in the Future of Local Sport
Netwatch’s support has helped County Carlow Rugby Club continue developing facilities that benefit current members while creating opportunities for future generations.
By investing in the club, Netwatch is helping ensure that young athletes have a welcoming environment where they can:
- Develop their rugby skills
- Build confidence through teamwork
- Form lifelong friendships
- Represent their community at club, provincial, and national levels
These investments extend well beyond sport, helping create stronger social connections and encouraging healthy, active lifestyles across the wider Carlow community.
Staying True to Its Carlow Roots
Founded in Carlow in 2003, Netwatch has grown from a local Irish business into an international provider of AI-powered proactive video monitoring and intelligent security solutions.
Today, the company protects more than 300,000 locations worldwide while employing more than 400 people across multiple countries.
Despite that global growth, Carlow remains central to the company’s identity.
Supporting local organisations, charities, sporting clubs, and community initiatives continues to be an important part of how Netwatch gives back to the community where its journey began.
Creating Safer, Stronger Communities
Community partnerships have always been an important part of Netwatch’s mission.
While the company is recognised globally for helping organisations protect people, property, and assets through proactive video monitoring, it also believes that creating safer communities begins with supporting the organisations that bring people together.
County Carlow Rugby Club is one of those organisations.
By investing in local sport, family-focused facilities, and community initiatives, Netwatch is helping strengthen the place where it all began—ensuring that as the company continues to grow around the world, its commitment to Carlow remains as strong as ever.
