Whether you are an England international or an occasional player for your local side, going on tour is a fantastic way to build team spirit, morale and identity. It provides a rare and exciting opportunity for players and coaches to get to know each other that little bit better and helps to build teamwork both on and off the pitch. Tours often provide memories and friendships that will last a lifetime; the camaraderie and banter can be second to none.

RUGBY TOURS

It is important to carefully consider the aim of your tour. Will it be for development, as an opportunity to try new things in a different environment, or solely for fun and relaxation?

You must also consider the most appropriate timing for your tour and the destination, always keeping your overall aim in mind.

Alternatively, hosting a touring team provides an opportunity to play against new opposition and make new rugby contacts.

When planning a tour with another Union, whether it is travelling overseas or hosting a team from another Union, approval must be obtained in advance in accordance with RFU Regulation 10. If you’re planning a tour for children it is essential that you read our Touring with Children Guide and the RFU Safeguarding Policy
