What Our Teams Say About Us

“Our experience with Irish Rugby Tours was outstanding from start to finish.

The level of organization, communication and attention to detail allowed us to focus entirely on our athletes and the experience.

The balance of high-quality competition, cultural immersion and seamless logistics created an environment where our players could grow both on and off the field.

It was a first-class experience that we would strongly recommend to any program looking to challenge and develop their team internationally.

Looking forward to the next one.”

Curtis Lauzon, Head Coach, Rugby New Brunswick, New Brunswick.

“Irish Rugby Tours is what the new generation are calling SICK.  They are amazing!!  Words are not enough to express the gratitude I felt towards those amazing human being that worked day in and day out to make our trip a success.

I think I called George ions of times and with the time difference so many late nights.  The best thing is they never got tired of me.  They answered my calls, emails and any concerns that I have and was beyond patient with me.

Thank you, thank you so much Irish Rugby Tours for such an amazing trip.

Now to plan the next one.  Book all your trip with Irish Rugby Tours and you will not regret it.”

JoseMay, Head Coach, Taber Girls RFC, Alberta.

“This was our first ever rugby tour.  We had no experience or contacts.  We seen Irish Rugby Tours pop up on the internet time after time having favourable reviews.  It was our best decision.  George at Irish Rugby Tours guided us through the whole process.  He was patient and kind.   Being so far away he made himself readily available for any questions which I really appreciated and calmed any fears down. 

The matches will be remembered forever!  All matches were in the rain which made the experience even more memorable.  It was hard not to wipe the smiles off their muddy faces!

I highly recommend Irish Rugby Tours!”

Gerald Lopez, Head Coach, Parkland Pirates RFC, Manitoba.

“The Earl Marriott Rugby Tour experience in March 2020 was nothing short of exceptional!

We had planned a very exciting Spring tour.  Irish Rugby Tours were absolutely brilliant through the planning stages.

As we neared the tour the globe was in a state of uncertainty with the looming pandemic but at the time of departure everything was still open.  Upon arrival EVERYTHING had changed and Irish Rugby Tours was absolutely incredible figuring out our way home.

The situation was beyond stressful yet Irish Rugby Tours maintained their calm and worked diligently to get us home.”

Adam Roberts, Head Coach, Earl Marriott High School, Ontario.
