Rugby Tours to Canada

For years, our direction of travel was almost exclusively for Canadian Touring to Europe. Not so any more. We have built some great friendships with teams & clubs across the Country, so have developed two incredible Canadian Itineraries at either-end of this great country alongside those who know it best. 

Where Rugged Landscapes Meet Rugby Legacy

At Sky High Sports, our passion for Canadian rugby runs deep.

For almost twenty years, we’ve welcomed Canadian touring sides to the UK and Europe, forging lasting friendships and gaining unique insight into the heart of Canadian rugby. These relationships have shaped our Canada tours from the ground up,  every itinerary is crafted with direct input from the teams and leaders who know the game and the country best.

To ensure seamless travel and authentic experiences, we established our Canadian office in 2019, strengthening our connections and expanding opportunities for our clients. Your tour is led by Scott Hendry, our man on the ground in Canada. As a former Canadian international and current Ontario U16 coach, Scott brings world-class rugby knowledge and a contagious enthusiasm for adventure, ensuring every moment of your trip is unforgettable.

Our tours champion the vibrant cities of Toronto, Ottawa, and Niagara Falls, while immersing you in the unrivalled beauty of Canada’s countryside. For those with more time, we can extend the itinerary to Montreal, offering further contrast and experience. 

Expect historic fixtures at premier clubs, hands-on training sessions, and the chance to catch top-level Canadian sports. Off the pitch, indulge in local culinary delights like wine tastings, and enjoy thrilling activities like white water rafting or the iconic Niagara Gorge Jet Boat.

With Sky High Sports, you’re not just visiting Canada, you’re experiencing it as a true rugby insider. Let us take you beyond the guidebook and into the beating heart of Canadian rugby and adventure.

Canada

Vancouver

Rugby thrives on Canada’s West Coast, where stunning scenery meets a vibrant sporting culture. Vancouver offers competitive fixtures with passionate local clubs and training in world-class facilities. Off the pitch, the city delivers ocean views, mountain air, and endless adventure — from Stanley Park and the Capilano Bridge to buzzing Granville Island.

Victoria

On Vancouver Island, Victoria blends rugby heritage with laid-back coastal charm. Fixtures here are fiercely contested yet friendly, played against proud local sides in one of Canada’s most historic rugby regions. Away from the field, explore harbourfront cafés, whale watching, and the city’s British-inspired architecture under Pacific sunshine.

Montreal

Montreal is Canada’s rugby capital, boasting legendary clubs like the Wanderers, Irish, and Barbarians. Competitive fixtures are paired with world-class food, vibrant nightlife, and a bilingual, cosmopolitan culture. From Old Montreal’s cobbles to the buzz of Crescent Street, this is rugby and city life at its most memorable.

Toronto

Canada’s largest city is a powerhouse of sport and culture, home to professional rugby and iconic attractions. Fixtures here test your team against strong opposition, while off the field the CN Tower, bustling waterfront, and buzzing nightlife make Toronto a tour stop overflowing with energy.

Ottawa

Canada’s capital combines big-city energy with small-town charm, offering competitive fixtures with top clubs and unforgettable cultural experiences. From Parliament Hill to world-class museums, your squad can balance rugby with sightseeing, nightlife, and exploration in a city where history, sport, and hospitality collide.

Niagara Falls

Few tour backdrops are as jaw-dropping as Niagara Falls. Competitive rugby fixtures meet one of the world’s greatest natural wonders, with boat cruises, ziplining, and vibrant nightlife adding to the thrill. A perfect mix of adrenaline, spectacle, and team bonding in an unforgettable Canadian setting.

Calgary

In the shadow of the Rockies, Calgary offers a true taste of Western Canada. Rugby here is fast, physical, and welcoming, with fixtures played against strong Alberta opposition. Between matches, teams can visit the Stampede grounds, explore the city’s craft beer scene, or head into the mountains for a day in Banff or Lake Louise.

Kamloops

Known as the Tournament Capital of Canada, Kamloops is a hub for sport and outdoor adventure. The city’s top-class facilities and strong rugby community make it ideal for touring teams. Off the field, enjoy lakes, trails, and the relaxed pace of British Columbia’s interior — the perfect setting for team bonding and recovery.
