A Unique School Rugby Tour to Sri Lanka

Rugby has a deep-rooted history in Sri Lanka and remains one of the country’s most passionately followed school sports. Combined with outstanding cultural experiences, wildlife and coastal downtime, a rugby tour to Sri Lanka offers a truly memorable experience for players and staff alike.

Tour Overview

Rugby was introduced to Sri Lanka during British colonial rule, with schools such as Kingswood College and Trinity College in Kandy pioneering the sport as early as the late 19th century. Today, Sri Lanka is one of the world’s oldest rugby-playing nations, with a strong and competitive school rugby scene.

We work closely with leading schools and clubs across Sri Lanka to arrange top-class, well-matched fixtures, alongside a balanced itinerary that allows teams to experience far more than rugby alone.
