Rugby Tours to Ireland

No country does Rugby Tours quite like Ireland — where world-class sport, legendary hospitality, and unforgettable experiences collide.

Land of Legends, Home of the Craic, Heart of the Game

There’s no greater rite of passage in the touring world than a rugby tour to Ireland. It’s the original, the benchmark, and still the gold standard. At Sky High Sports, we’ve sent more teams to Ireland than anywhere else — and with good reason. From the legendary nights in Dublin and the vibrant energy of Galway, to the eye-opening history of Belfast and the warm southern charm of Cork, no country offers a more complete or more immersive rugby experience.

Ireland punches above its weight in every department. The welcome is second to none. The rugby is physical, proud and deeply rooted in every community. The landscape is unforgettable, the Guinness somehow tastes better, and the cultural experience – from hurling pitches to folk bars – makes it an all-encompassing adventure. We don’t just organise Ireland tours. We specialise in them.

Whether you’re playing a gritty club side in Ulster, learning the craft of Gaelic Football in Dublin, or belting out folk songs in a Galway pub, we’ll help you build a tour that’s authentic, action-packed and unforgettable.

 

The Original & The Best

Dublin

Dublin is the heartbeat of Irish rugby – a city every touring side needs to experience at least once. Rich in history, proud in sport, and unbeatable when it comes to post-match entertainment, the capital delivers a complete package. From Leinster Rugby and the Aviva Stadium to the Guinness Storehouse and Temple Bar, there’s a reason this city tops touring lists year after year. A coaching clinic with a former Irish international, a fixture at Donnybrook, and a bite at My Meat Wagon – this is Dublin, done properly.

Galway

Galway is where you feel the soul of the west. Charming, musical, and overflowing with hospitality, it’s the perfect counterpoint to the capital. The city itself buzzes with traditional Irish culture – live music on every corner, seafood on every plate, and pints poured with pride. Beyond the city, the Wild Atlantic Way offers unforgettable scenery and proper rugby challenges. Fixtures with Galwegians RFC, trips to the Aran Islands, and a night on Quay Street – Galway is a touring masterclass in authenticity and atmosphere.

Belfast

Belfast is Ireland’s best-kept secret – a city that blends culture, history and world-class rugby in a way few others can. Home to Ulster Rugby and the mighty Kingspan Stadium, it’s the northern powerhouse of Irish rugby. Add in a powerful history lesson on the Black Taxi Tour, the epic Titanic Experience, and a side trip to the Causeway Coast, and you’ve got a tour with serious depth. Stand up for the Ulstermen – Belfast is a knockout.

Cork

Cork is colourful, confident and full of character. Long known as the People’s Republic, it’s a cultural and culinary powerhouse with deep rugby roots and huge local pride. Fixtures here are hard-fought and fiercely friendly – just the way they should be. From whale watching off the Cobh to kissing the Blarney Stone or kayaking along the Atlantic coast, Cork brings variety and vibrancy in spades. Catch Munster in action, hit the pubs of Kinsale, and discover why the locals say Cork is the true capital.
