What Our Teams Say About Us

“This was our 1st tour with Irish Rugby Tours and we couldn’t ask for more.  They make things very easy to plan and easy from an administration side of things handling all the money and the paperwork required to tour.  Our training sessions were intense.  The coaches were great and we got to learn a few new things from them.  Our fixtures were great, learnt a lot from them & our hosts were so accommodating.  Our next trip will be in 2027 & I know who we will be using.”

Joe Kirsch, Fairport Rugby, New York.

“Amazing Team Tour Experience with Irish Rugby Tours!
This was our 3rd tour with Irish Rugby Tours!  Working with George and his team is fabulous!  They are constantly in contact with you and tailor your tour to your own wishes.  My collegiate team (UVA Women) had a tremendous time with both their rugby experiences and their cultural/tourist outings.  Incredible amount of attention to detail for your tour.”

Nancy Kechner, University of Virginia Women’s Rugby, Charlottesville.

“I just want to say something about your company Irish Rugby Tours and what a great company it is.  Amid the Covid-19 spread, Irish Rugby Tours were able to make accommodations when things were becoming hectic.  Irish Rugby Tours was with us every step of the way ensuring our tour ended and returned back to the USA safely.  This willingness to adapt and accommodate the tour has been a hallmark of my dealings with Irish Rugby Tours.”

Brendan Towell, St. Augustine Prep High School, New Jersey.

“This was our 4th tour with Irish Rugby Tours and they have been great from day one.  They make things very easy to plan and easy from an administration side of things handling all the money and the paperwork required to tour.  Our driver was great, a very nice guy who was very knowledgeable and always there to help and point out a cool site or two.

Our next trip will be in 2027 & I know who we will be using.”
