Rugbyclub Etten-Leur Tournament in Holland
The Rugbyclub Etten-Leur 10's Tournament is a social rugby experience held annually at the end of May. It serves as a gateway for players to immerse themselves in the rich Dutch rugby culture while pitting their skills against opponents from across Europe.
Beyond the fierce competition on the pitch, teams forge genuine camaraderie with their rivals, bonding over shared victories and creating memories that will last a lifetime.
This tour offers a unique opportunity to visit two European nations. By staying in Antwerp or Brussels, the group will be able to explore these historic cities, adding an enriching layer to their overall experience.
You may, however, opt to reside in nearby Breda, Rotterdam or Eindhoven to keep this a purely Dutch experience.
