Organizing an unforgettable Rugby Tour

Going on rugby tour is a keenly anticipated event for every rugby player! However organizing a rugby tour can be very demanding and a lot of hard work: agreeing a destination, getting everyone to commit and pay up, match fixtures, travel arrangements, collecting tour fees etc. Not to mention the pressure to create an unforgettable touring experience. Where to begin?


Begin with the end in mind: creating tour legends! Or in this case create a tour profile on sports social networking site tourlegends.com. This site aims to connect sports teams globally and has been set up specifically around touring and team management.

Tourlegends lists over 1000 rugby clubs which can be contacted via the site to arrange a tour fixture. Whereas for those who prefer to enter an organized sports event the tourlegends rugby tournament calendar includes regular rugby tournaments as well as beach rugby, rugby 7’s and rugby 10’s tournaments.

Rugby tour organizers can update their tourlegends tour profile as accommodation, transport, fixtures etc are confirmed. Everyone in the rugby club can access it 24/7 so the organizers don’t have to keep repeating information or flood everyone’s inbox with more emails! Moreover players can pay their tour fees via tourlegends integrated online payment system powered by PayPal.

Players and supporters can start early on the pre-tour banter, assign tour roles and get in the touring mindset on the associated tour blog. For those inevitable cheeky tour moments where ‘what goes on tour stays on tour’ the evidence can be posted to each tour’s Banter Box – a separate blog space only accessible to the tourists! Enjoy the post-tour banter and fuel it by adding photos, tour statistics, tour awards and virtual products such as a tour virgin, tour trophy or inflatable kangaroo (!) …

“The fun, camaraderie, excitement and lasting memories of rugby tours are often unforgettable for all involved. At tourlegends we seek to make your rugby tour experience even more memorable and easier to organize. “Says Nellie Rogers founder of tourlegends.
