The business is structured as a sales-led, direct-to-consumer hospitality operation with approximately 23 employees and no disclosed technology platform beyond standard website, social, and email marketing infrastructure. Membership is the subscription core, complemented by transactional revenue streams from food and beverage, accommodation, event hosting, meeting room hire, and reciprocal club network access spanning over 200 international partner clubs (including RAC London, The Lansdowne Club, and St. James Club Paris). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; memberships are reviewed by a General Committee twice yearly. Distribution is entirely domestic Dublin with global reciprocity for travelling members. The General Manager is Ray Mooney; membership, events, sales and marketing, and front office functions are handled by named executives (Sharon Walshe, Helen Daly, Joeby Browne, Rita as Wedding Coordinator). The club holds no parent company, external funding, or public listing, and is privately member-governed.
