Rugby Travel Ireland

Fantastic experience: Our secondary school rugby team had an amazing 5-day tour to Salou, Spain, thanks to Rugby Travel Ireland. Ben, Niamh, and Daragh were incredibly professional and made the trip seamless. They handled all the logistics perfectly, ensuring smooth travel, accommodation, and fixtures. The tour was a huge success, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Fabulous tour for the Ireland v SA Summer tests with 2 unforgettable games and a stunning climax in the 2nd test. RTI were fantastic, and every stage of the trip was well planned and executed and great accommodation. RTI staff were fantastic, helpful and good craic. Donal and Shane added celebrity, great insight, and a dodgy mullet (sorry Shane)!! Great craic with others on the tour. The last day will live long in the memory and up there with the great Ireland games I've attended. Never to be forgotten tour, Cheers RTI!

Fantastic experience: The trip to South Africa with RTI for me personally, was a trip of a lifetime and surpassed my expectations. The RTI staff were just fabulous. They were all so kind, helpful and always available to assist with any queries. The organisation of flights, hotels, bus trips, accomodation and food was planned to perfection with great professionalism .. Let me not forget the absolute highlight of the trip of course the two games. The icing on the cake, being the win in Durban. Lots of ceol, ól agus craic to be had too!! I would highly recommend travelling with RTI for any future trips. Look forward to seeing you on tour again. Míle buíochas, Caitríona Ní Loinsigh

Fantastic experience: Summer tour to SA with Rugby Travel Ireland. Very well organised tour. Nice hotels. Opportunities for additional trips or downtime. Very professional staff who were also fun. Pre match venues gave opportunities to interact with local supporters. My sixth long haul Rugby tour with them.

Fantastic experience: What a trip of a lifetime in South Africa for the 2024 Ireland Rugby summer tour. From start to that epic match finish it was unforgettable. The RTI team and the travelling fans did so much to make me feel welcome and looked after. I look forward to many more hopefully.

Fantastic experience: My second tour with RTI within 15 months. That in itself is a testament to this company. From start to finish everything went smoothly, RTI staff (Mark, Cathal, Paul, Ambassadors Donal (Lenihan) & Shane (Byrne), hotels, match tickets, pre match locations, experience options between games, transfers, all excellent. Within our tour of 180 + there were groups, couples, friends, singles and all gelled together. If you are thinking of taking part in a rugby tour trip, then I highly recommend using RTI

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience which was enhanced by an excellent team from Rugby Travel Ireland. Loved the variety of places to visit and things to do.

Fantastic experience: Still coming back down to earth from another absolutely unbelievable tour. Thanks to Mark Cathal and all involved for making it a memorable trip.

Fantastic experience: An absolutely outstanding trip from start to finish. RTI are a top class operator and I wouldn’t use anyone else for my next trip now.

Fantastic experience: Amazing trip will never forget it. Everything ran smoothly and our guide Ben Spencer was 10/10. A story or fun fact for every side of Cape Town, Stellenbosch, Hermanus. He came alive in the Game reserve and was like a young David Attenborough.

Fantastic experience: Unbelievable trip. Couldn’t thank Ben and Tony enough for organising and facilitating everything. Will never forget it!

Fantastic experience: Great organisation & super tour

Fantastic experience: Top class trip from start to finish, an absolute once in a lifetime, unforgettable experience. Ben couldn’t have possibly made it any easier for us, great craic and made sure everything was right, memories for a lifetime

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic trip and brilliantly organised..

Fantastic experience: Well done Debbie and team, we had an amazing holiday. Everything was well run and the two wins was the icing on the cake.

Fantastic experience: We had the trip of a lifetime with RTI on the 2024 Munster Rugby tour to South Africa. 5 star accommodation and top class daily activities (including 2 days on Safari!). Top class guides who made sure everything ran smoothly, but also ensuring that we had great craic on the tour. Unbelievable value for all that we packed into our tour.

Fantastic experience: Travelled for Leinster South Africa Tour April 2024. Tour was well organised with a full itinerary, to which we were kept well informed of on a daily basis. Staff were friendly and efficient and overall the Tour was good value. Would definitely use again.

Fantastic experience: RTI Organised a tour for UL Bohemians U13 rugby team to the Portugal International Youth Rugby Festival. We couldn't have hoped for a more professional organisation. From start to finish the diligence and attention to detail was top notch. The festival was brilliant and the players and parents all had a fantastic time. From the beginning of the trip to the end RTI representatives were available to help and answer any questions and queries. I would not hesitate in recommended them to other groups looking to do similar trips.

Fantastic experience: Greystones RFC U18's girls travelled to Salou & played CN Poble Nou - Rugby Lucas & his team where so welcoming. The weekend ran seamless from start to finish. Daragh, Niamh & Debbie where amazing from the 1st initial contact. Would highly recommended RTI. Memories made for life.

Fantastic experience: St Mary's RFC travelled with RTI to Salou in April 2024. An exceptional experience was had by all that travelled. We could not have asked for more from the Team at RTI who were very diligent in their organising which resulted in a seamless experience for all the group. Huge thanks to Daragh and Niamh for the numerous emails and calls during the planning

Positive experience: Excellent trip with RTI to Biarritz which was enjoyed by all who attended. Daragh is brilliant at what he does and was very responsive to all asks for help, highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: RTI were brilliant throughout all our planning of our trip. We had a few hiccups on our side which were not a problem to Daragh, Niamh and crew. All our U12 boys rugby team in Cashel have made memories and friendships for life. Could not say enough about Niamh and Robyn who helped with any issues we had while over in Lisbon with ease and at all hours. Would highly recommend them for their professionalism and helpfulness.

Fantastic experience: Just back from our first tour with RTI in Portugal. From the initial discussions with Darragh and Niamh the tour could not have run any smoother, everything about RTI was professional, realible and efficient! RTI staff were a pleasure to be with and couldn't have been more friendly and helpful! A special thanks to Niamh, Robyn and of course Fergal who are now all honorary members of Bangor Academy! Having only been back 1 day we are already in dissusions about next years tour to the festival in Portugal! All the boys absolutely loved it!! Roll on 2025! Many thanks, DC & Monty

Fantastic experience: Rugby Travel Ireland were incredibly professional and accommodating. The 2 members of staff that were on site with us really added to the tour. They acted as a bridge between us and the resort staff, buses and referees etc. They were more than will to help or offer guidance in a variety of scenarios that can occur on a rugby tour. I look forward to our next tour with RTI.

Fantastic experience: We engaged Rugby Travel Ireland to coordinate our school's training camp to Portugal. From start to finish, the Rugby Travel Ireland reps took exceptional care of us. Daragh and Ben were fantastic! They had excellent knowledge of the resort and surrounding facilities and had great connections to sort all our needs. Browns Resort is an ideal setup for any team looking to stay and train. The rooms are comfortable, the training facilities including the gym, pitches and pool are excellent and the food was great too. Each meal was a buffet allowing the boys to eat as much as they wanted. The staff in the resort were so accommodating and friendly and took care of us so well. Rugby Travel Ireland created an excellent schedule for us including trips excursions to keep the kids entertained. Despite it being a public holiday, they even managed to get a go kart track opened especially for our tour group, where we were again taken great care of. At last minute notice, they even managed to coordinate and organise a fixture for us against a local club team. This capped off a truly excellent trip away. I would highly recommend Rugby Travel Ireland to anyone thinking of organising a trip away with a team. They were great to work with, friendly and down to earth. We will definitely be back again!

Negative experience: Avoid ! Worst travel experience I have ever had and I frequently attend sports events abroad. I made the big mistake of going with RTI to the Rugby World Cup 2023 . The group was scattered across the city so no group atmosphere. No support for matches they just dropped us off and disappeared. The flight back was cancelled so we spent two days and nights in the airport with No support or updates or care . Shockingly amateur and the worst customer care ever even though we paid a serious amount of money. The managing director mismanaged the situation from the start and is still leaving customers out of pocket. Avoid ! I don’t know why Munster Rugby use this company, it’s definitely not for fans.

Fantastic experience: Dealt with Paul in RTI, these guys are your go to guys. Passionate about rugby and the crowd they bring with them. 10/10

Fantastic experience: Just back from the RWC and can honestly say that Rugby Travel Ireland were absolutely fantastic. Couldn't flaw it whatsoever, 10/10

Fantastic experience: Travelled with Rugby Travel Ireland to Ireland v South Africa at the weekend. Change of flight time on outbound trip - these things happen and out of their control I assume. Outstanding service from beginning to end - couldn't have gone better. Would definitely use their service again.

Negative experience: AVOID AVOID these Complete Amateurs 100s of passengers stranded in bourdeaux since last saturday match with no plane available. Flight cancelled and postponed multiple times on sunday and monday, with no plane available still on tuesday Phone numbers given are not picked up Litany of excuses dripfed every 6hours or so.Very Disappointing. Never again

Negative experience: Words cannot describe how bad these guys are! Amateur Hour. World Cup Package booked last year and confirmed we would arrive in Paris early Friday morning...approx 10am. Now being informed a week out that we will arrive at 7pm. All plans for Friday now out the window. Unable to contact them by phone, when finally get through the rudeness was off the chart, would NOT recommend this company.

Fantastic experience: Highly successful trip slight delay with coach and airport but through no fault of there own. Will definitely travel again with them

Fantastic experience: Impeccable, as always

Fantastic experience: Traveled with Rugby Travel Ireland for the Irish Rugby Trip to New Zealand 2022 couldn’t recommend them enough very well organised trip great staff on tour the additional organised events were top class. I would have no difficulty in recommending this company for future trips. I will be a return customer.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic summer tour in NZ. RTI were just brilliant throughout. So privileged and special to have been there to see history made. Roll on the next RTI trip.

Fantastic experience: Rugby Travel Ireland runs rugby tours to the very highest quality. The staff is fun, friendly and excellent at dealing with any issues. Their match day experience is really fantastic with transfers and excellently run pre- and post-match events, leaving guests free to fully enjoy the occasion.

Fantastic experience: Great company to deal with. Eugene was very helpful. They tailormade our trip. Great value for fully guided trip. Highly recommend

Negative experience: Brutal experience

Positive experience: All good in general but I think hotel transfers could have been better as bus had to turn back to collect passengers at the airport on Saturday and at the hotel on Monday

Fantastic experience: Great staff...always helpful.

Fantastic experience: Booked our first trip with Rugby Travel Ireland to the 6 Nations Ireland v Scotland 2019 match in Edinburgh as a Christmas present for my 15yr old rugby loving daughter. All aspects of our trip from initial enquiry right through to our return back to Dublin airport were dealt with efficiently, professionally and with great customer service. Would highly recommend Rugby Travel Ireland and I look forward to our next trip with them!

Fantastic experience: First time ever on any sort of structured tour / holiday and found it an amazing experience .
