Rugby tours & tournaments in England

Touring in England

Who could blame any devoted rugby fan for wanting to discover the true home of the sport. With England, Scotland and Wales being main players in the 6 Nations, the UK is a fantastic destination for a guaranteed class game of rugby.

Rugby began in the 1800's at Rugby School in the Midlands of England - hence the name of the sport. The game was created by the pupils, who played on grass pitches with a pigs bladder encased in leather as the ball.

When the boys of Rugby left school they took the game with them and clubs began to spring up around the country. In 1871 30 people from 22 clubs met to consolidate the rules of the game, this was the humble beginnings of the English RFU. Now consisting of 2000 clubs, currently financing 8000 mini teams and with 3000 schools in the English Rugby Football Schools Union you can see that the sport certainly took off and is still going strong.

An original member of the 5 Nations, every year there are 200,000 games played in association with the RFU, so there will never be a shortage of competitive games to watch or play.

Reasons to take a rugby tour in England are self explanatory on the sporting side - we are just passionate about the game.

Added to this amazing rugby culture, England has many historical treasures, whether it be a trip to the Roman Baths in the Historical city of Bath , a stroll along the English Riviera in Torquay or a visit to the university towns of Oxford or Cambridge, the oldest varsity annual fixture In the world, beginning in Oxford in 1872. Every city, town or county will offer a devoted rugby team an hospitable welcome.
