The Ireland Sports Tour is a professionally curated international sports travel experience that blends elite training environments, competitive international fixtures, and meaningful cultural immersion.

Our Ireland Sports tour is perfect for organisations seeking a high-impact international sports experience. It is ideally suited to secondary schools and high schools, universities and colleges,  sports Academies, and international touring teams.

Over six carefully structured days, teams will gain access to Ireland’s most iconic national field sports: Gaelic Football, Hurling, Camogie, Rugby, and Soccer. Participants will learn the technical and tactical elements of these games as well as understand their cultural importance within Irish communities.

Our programme includes behind-the-scenes visits to legendary venues such as Croke Park, the headquarters of the Gaelic Athletic Association; Aviva Stadium, Ireland’s national rugby and soccer stadium; and Thomond Park, the iconic home of Munster Rugby. These experiences place athletes in the same environments as Ireland’s elite performers, providing inspiration and context to their own development.

Beyond training sessions and workshops, teams compete in level-matched fixtures against local Irish clubs and schools. In Dublin, groups will explore landmarks such as Trinity College Dublin and Dublin Castle, gaining insight into Ireland’s history, academic tradition, and global influence.

Talk to our travel experts to take your team to the Ireland Sports Tour, and experience together the camaraderie and healthy fun of the sports tours in Ireland.
