Get ready to experience Lisbon, one of Europe’s most exciting and award-winning cities! Crowned World’s Leading Destination 2019, Europe’s Leading Destination in 2020 and 2022, and Europe’s Capital of Sport 2021, it’s the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable rugby adventure.
This festival isn’t just about great rugby (though there’s plenty of that!) – it’s also your chance to explore a vibrant city packed with culture, colour, and energy. With top-class facilities and a passionate local rugby scene, it’s a standout event on the junior rugby calendar where big matches meet big memories.
Hop on a flight from the UK to Portugal, then enjoy a short transfer into Lisbon. Before you know it, you’ll be checked in, settled, and ready to kick back ahead of an action-packed couple of days on the pitch!
Make your way to the tournament venue and get ready to kick things off! It’s time for your pool matches, with three games lined up today – bring the energy and enjoy every moment. Good luck!
Let the play-offs begin! Your team will take on 2 or 3 matches depending on how far you go (here’s hoping for that final spot!). Once the action wraps up, celebrate your achievements at the awards ceremony and soak up the atmosphere with some live music.
Home time! It’s time to begin your journey back to the UK.

We found the whole end to end process via Sports Tours seamless. Nice and easy team registration process (no unnecessary paperwork), decent pitches and referees were great too. Would 100% recommend Sports Tours – in fact we are already looking at options for next year. Five stars.
