YOUTH FESTIVAL AUTUMN SERIES
Portugal Rugby Youth Festival Autumn Series
Boasting itself as the ‘greatest European rugby tournament for youth teams’, Portugal Youth Rugby Tournament provides visitors with determined competition and unforgettable experiences.
Comprising of 118 teams from 17 countries, the passion for rugby is clear, with the event including incredible food and entertainment throughout. The schedule even includes Coaches Corner – a designated chill-out zone for adults.
The festival is hosted in Lisbon, a vibrant city known for its rich history, stunning architecture, and lively cultural scene. Located on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, it boasts a unique charm with its narrow cobblestone streets, pastel-coloured buildings, and iconic trams that traverse its steep hills.
Regional flights from Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester, Belfast, Edinburgh and London make this event accessible for teams seeking a warm, spring tournament in one of Europe’s great touring centres.
