The Rugby League Experience - Rugby League Travel Specialists

Details of our Kangaroo Supporters Tour to the UK and Ireland with host Artie Beetson O.A.M are now released - click on the picture of our flyer or the links below for the Itinerary and full details. Note that dates and venues for matches are pending final official approval and may be subject to change.

We have planned a fantastic 25 nights tour which includes all the Kangaroos matches plus the Four Nations Final and visits to MANCHESTER, LONDON, CORK, DUBLIN, LIVERPOOL, EDINBURGH and LEEDS. It will be a great tour so why not join in the fun as we tour around the UK and Ireland seeing the sights and enjoying the best rugby league in the world.

With the Rugby League International Federation's (RLIF) plans to further develop the strength of our international game at the highest level, the 2011 Four Nations Series is promising to be the most successful tournament staged yet.

Wales was the winner of the 2010 European Cup, qualifying as the fourth team for the 2011 Four Nations series. The 2011 Four Nations Series will be played in England and Wales in October and November later this year and once again we will be taking a touring party over to support the Kangaroos. We were the only sports travel agent to be appointed as Official Agents for the 2008 Rugby League World Cup for both UK international inbound tours and Australian domestic tours and packages. We were also Official Agents for the 2010 Four Nations Series and conducted tours for ALL supporters - international tourists as well as local Australian fans.

TOUR HIGHLIGHTS

OUR TOUR HOST - ARTHUR BEETSON O.A.M. - BIG ARTIE

His career statistics go on forever. He played for different clubs, his state, his country, overseas, grand finals, you name it… as a player Arthur Beetson has done it all! Artie’s coaching career is also very extensive and he was the first Indigenous Australian to captain his country in any sport. Artie is considered the best forward in Australian rugby league history and became an Immortal in 2004. Most of all Artie is great bloke, truly one of nature’s gentlemen. His warmth, humor and love of the game of Rugby League is what make him an ideal host for our tours. Artie is loved and respected by all our previous tourists, with the feedback always full of thanks to Artie for making the tours something special.

PREVIOUS TESTIMONIALS

“As a third time tourist to the UK I am pleased to offer an unqualified endorsement for the Rugby League Experience. They are well experienced and from firsthand knowledge I can verify that all arrangements are first class with excellent accommodation, top seats to all matches and access to functions which are not usually available. They really provide a lifetime experience at a reasonable cost.” JOE KINNANE, Grafton NSW 

“An overseas tour following the Kangaroos is something I will never forget. The quality of the service was great - everything was organised so well, we didn’t have to worry about anything. Artie was the BEST HOST - I have many fond memories of him and fellow tourists. It was a trip of a lifetime - thanks to Craig and The Rugby League Experience.” GARY GILLESPIE, Northern NSW  

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour of the UK and France with the Rugby League Experience and sincerely recommend this tour company.

TRIBUTE TO ENGLISH SPORTS DAY WITH LUNCH AT LORDS

We will tour the 2012 Olympic Games precinct prior to visiting the home of cricket, Lords. Here we will tour this hallowed ground taking a behind the scenes tour and visit inner sanctums such as the Long Room. We will lunch at the adjoining world famous Lords Tavern. Post lunch we will head to Wimbledon the home of tennis and the scene of some of the greatest matches ever played. This will be a magic day for any lover of sport.

DAY TOUR OF KINGDOM OF FYFE WITH VISIT TO ST ANDREWS

Whilst everybody acknowledges St Andrews as the home of golf it is much more than that being a beautiful seaside town of enormous character. After St. Andrews, we will journey through the East Neuk of Fyfe. This is an undiscovered corner that yields some real gems, including the historic fishing villages of Crail and Anstruther. Here we will experience an award winning 'fish supper' (as it's known to all true Scots) before heading home, full of good food and good memories from the Scottish Kingdom of Fyfe.

UK RUGBY LEAGUE DAY WITH STEVO - VISIT THE RUGBY LEAGUE HERITAGE CENTRE AT THE GEORGE HOTEL PLUS LUNCH

This will be a special day for those who love Rugby League. We set out with Sky TV’s Mike “Stevo” Stephenson on a unique day looking into the history of our game in the UK. Stevo will take us to Headingly, the famous sight of many great Test matches (both Rugby League and Cricket), Odsal Stadium Bradford which once held the attendance record for Rugby League and the George Hotel the birthplace of our great game. We will also take in the Rugby League Heritage Centre founded by Stevo. Lunch will be included on this fun filled day.
