Laying the Foundations for an Unforgettable Rugby Tour

Thinking about touring is where the adventure really starts. You might already have a destination in mind, or you might simply know that your team is ready for something different. Either way, getting the foundations right early makes everything that follows much easier.

This section is here to help you shape those first ideas into a realistic plan, from building your tour committee and choosing the right time to travel, to deciding how long to go for, how far ahead to start planning and what kind of experience will suit your group best. You do not need to have all the answers at this stage. That is where we come in.

At Sky High Sports, we have helped teams of all ages and levels turn an initial idea into a brilliant rugby tour. Start with what you know, and we will help you build the rest.

Laying the Foundations for an Unforgettable Rugby Tour

Everything you need to get your rugby tour idea off the ground:

The Tour Committee

Organising a rugby tour takes vision, teamwork and a bit of courage. The best place to start is by building a small, reliable tour committee to share responsibilities, bring different strengths to the table and keep everything moving. From the Tour Leader and Fundraiser to Admin and Health & Safety, having the right people involved makes the whole process far easier and more enjoyable. And remember, your Sky High Sports contact is there throughout too — think of us as your remote committee member, ready to help whenever you need us.

When Is The Best Time To Tour?

There is no single “best” month to tour. The right time depends on where you want to go, the age of your team and the type of rugby experience you want. Rugby calendars vary around the world, so when the season finishes at home, it may only just be getting started somewhere else.

How long should a rugby tour be?

There is no fixed rule. You can tour any destination for any length of time — the right duration simply depends on how far you are travelling, what you want to experience and how much time you have available.

For a short-haul trip, 3–5 days can be more than enough for a great rugby weekend, with a fixture, activities and time to enjoy the destination.

For European or multi-city tours, 6–10 days gives you more room for extra fixtures, professional coaching, sightseeing and recovery between matchdays.

For long-haul destinations such as New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, Argentina, and Canada, most teams choose to stay longer. If you are travelling that far, it makes sense to give yourself enough time to experience the destination properly rather than rushing through it.

How Far Ahead Should We Plan?

The earlier you start, the more choice you will have — particularly when it comes to flights, hotels, fixtures and activities.

That said, tours can come together much quicker if needed. The key is simply that the more time you give yourself, the easier it is to secure the best options, spread payments and give your group plenty of time to commit.

If you know you want to tour, start the conversation early — even if you do not have all the details yet.
