Feidlim McLoughlin (born 8 August 1941), also known as Feidlim MacLoughlin, is an Irish former rugby union international who played for Connacht, Gosforth, Northern FC and Northumberland.[1]

MacLoughlin was born in Ballinasloe, County Galway, and is a son of historian Tadhg Mac Lochlainn. His elder brother, Ray McLoughlin, was capped 40 times for Ireland. Dubai Duty Free CEO Colm McLoughlin is his younger brother.[2]

A Connacht provincial player, MacLoughlin spent most his career in North East England, briefly with brother Ray at Gosforth, before beginning a long association with another Gosforth based club Northern FC. He gained his only Ireland cap at the late age of 34, as a tighthead prop against Australia at Lansdowne Road in 1976.[3][4]

MacLoughlin has continued to live in Newcastle and was the inaugural president of the Irish Exiles, helping foreign based players such as Ross Nesdale gain Ireland selection.[5] He has also served on the IRFU committee.[6]
