In 2004, the Dragons built on the success of 2003 with regular numbers to training each week.

However, the first tour of the year in March saw the Dragons go down in a hard fought loss to the Thailand Tigers in Bangkok by 8 points. It was a gutsy effort after trailing by 23 points at 3 quarter time, and kicking into the wind with limited interchange in the last quarter. 

Next was a tour to Singapore to take on the Singapore Wombats. 
With an under-strength touring side, and playing a Singapore outfit with 40 players at home was always going to be tough, and in the end it proved the case, with the Wombats scoring a comprehensive 15-goal win. 



Following this debacle was the Asian championships in Kuala Lumpur. 
A record 7 teams arrived for the tournament, all with full squads. The Dragons had a great team and large squad, but the opposition was also strong, so it was going to be tough to win. However, win the Dragons did early, and were getting better and better as the day went on, culminating in a 40 points to nil drubbing of a stunned Singapore in the final. Simon Dixon took the player of the tournament award, and Graeme Rigg the best player of the final award. 

Following the triumph, the Dragons, as a bit of a novelty entered two teams in the Gaelic Asian Championships in October in Hong Kong. After struggling to learn the rules for the first few games, the sides finished strongly and the A team took out the second division cup, much to the surprise of the predominantly Irish crowd. 

Finally, a small group of Dragons toured Manila late in the year to take on the Philippine Eagles in a 9-a-side game. The Dragons got beaten in a close game to enable the Eagles to take a win in their first ever international. The tour also paved the way for the Eagles to step up on the international stage and laid the foundations for their success bid to stage the 2005 Asian Championships.
