Shool Preseason Rugby Tour to Limerick

The University of Limerick is widely regarded as one of Ireland's top sport campuses, which is why Munster choose to train here - and now you can too.

You'll have access to world-class facilities including top-quality outdoor pitches, a high-performance gym, a spacious indoor sports hall ideal for unit skills or ball handling, and an indoor track for conditioning work. There's even a fantastic pool for recovery and light sessions.

You'll be able to roll out of bed and straight onto the training field, as you'll be staying at Kilmurry Student Village. This quiet, pedestrianised cul-de-sac is within walking distance of all the training facilities and is well set up for team bonding and relaxing downtime.

Your preseason rugby tour to Limerick will offer your squad the perfect environment in which to relax, refocus and strengthen their bond ahead of the new season, all in a setting trusted by the professionals.

Supporting you every step of the way

Creating your perfect sports tour

Your quote will be put together by an experienced Tour Adviser who’ll be an expert in school sports tours and will know the destination really well too. They’ll work with you to create a tour to suit your group’s needs and meet your tour objectives.

Launching your tour to parents and students

The next step is to get your tour approved and then get students signed up to it. Our ‘Trip Launch Pack’ will help you with this step. Here you’ll find loads of resources (all free to download) designed to make your life easier at this crucial point in the planning process.

After you’ve booked

Once you’ve booked, your dedicated Itinerary Coordinator will start working on the finer details. They’ll make sure your itinerary makes the most of your time and they’ll take on most of the admin tasks for your tour (making the whole process a lot less stressful for you).

Support while you’re away

While you’re out on tour, we’ll be at the end of the phone 24 hours a day to provide support should you need it. We’ll also send you a final info pack before you go and you’ll be able to access all your tour documents via the free Vamoos app.

After your trip

When you return from your sports tour, we’ll ask you to complete a detailed feedback survey, which helps us continue to improve the service we offer. And we can start planning your next tour too, so you can give parents plenty of time to pay for it (and so it’s less stressful for you).
