About this trip
Two-day festival. 27th-28th March 2027
The Italian Rugby Cup is quickly becoming one of the most exciting international youth rugby experiences available in Europe for teams looking to combine strong competition with brilliant sightseeing opportunities in the fantastic northern Italian city of Milan.
Italian youth rugby has developed enormously over the past decade, particularly at U16 and U18 level. Italy's pathways are producing increasingly strong players and competitive age-grade sides, with Italian U18 teams now regularly competing strongly against major rugby nations.
Held at the home of Rugby Parabiago 1948 near Milan, the tournament is specifically designed for U16 and U18 boys' and girls' teams, bringing together sides from across Europe in a festival atmosphere built around rugby, travel and shared experiences.
"We went out as boys and came back as men. We played rugby, displayed our talent and returned as champions. We shopped, laughed, danced and enjoyed everybody's company. We can't wait for the next tour."
