Great Central Sports Tours was born out of the love of playing sport, meeting and connecting with people on and off the sporting field, visiting new places and sporting venues, coupled with decades of experience of managing and arranging sporting activity for grassroots sporting clubs.
As for the Great Central element, the name was drawn from our location - central England - and in particular our own personal roots; on the very doorstep of what was the Great Central Railway which came into and passed through Rugby and back out into the Warwickshire, Northamptonshire and Leicestershire countryside.
The railway itself is sadly now long gone (locally it is now a leisure walk and cycle route) and Rugby is more acclaimed to being the birthplace of the game (which is one element to our services), but one of the Great Central’s original ideals of being located in the heart of the country and being able to send people on their travels in any direction north, east south or west resonates with what we do.
We arrange sports tours for clubs and teams looking to tour and travel in the UK and Ireland, catering for most sports and particularly specialising in
Cricket tours
Rugby tours (including our unique hometown tours)

Our tours and short breaks are for
Clubs and teams of all ages and standards (men, women, junior, youth, veterans)

Social teams and other leisure groups
We cater for group parties of 15 persons or more, with a wide range of great destinations to choose from the UK to choose from. As well as recommending some of the more popular and recognised places to tour, one of our key differences is that we can source tours and stays in just about any corner of the UK.
Plus with our vast network of contacts built up over 50 years, we can source and arrange tour fixtures to suit all standards and requirements within close proximity of your touring base.
Off-the-field, we can also source and organise a wide variety of indoor and outdoor activities at local attractions within any region of the UK and Ireland.
That is why we specialise in creating a sports tour and itinerary to suit the most demanding or flexible of requirements.
