The UG Table Tennis Club was re-established at the start of 2010, and is based in the Kingfisher Club. 6 new championship tables were shipped in from Germany. In 2013, the club won the UG leadership award and was presented with €14,000 to purchase an extra 8 new table as well as two robots, making us the best equipped club UG.
In 2014 UG hosted the all Ireland Intervarsities.
