Match Packages including 2 or 3 nights accommodation plus official match tickets are available for all of

Please note as we are an Official Travel Authorised Sub Agent of Rugby World Cup France 2023 we are unable to sell tickets that are not part of a travel package.
All Escorted Tours include officially licensed Category 2 match tickets as standard. All match packages include Category 3 match tickets.
Unlike previous world cups, Rugby World Cup France 2023 has an extended schedule with pool matches played around five weekends with each team getting a bye-week. New Zealand plays two of its four pool matches at the start of the tournament & then have a two-week break before their 3rd and 4th pool games. This makes travel difficult but as you can see by the Big RE Tour we have well & truly made up for that with some great tournament games & travel.
Group Flight details will be available from 12 months before our tours depart. All frequent flyer bookings need to be made direct with the airlines 12 months before departure. Flights booked through We Love Rugby will include arrival and departure airport transfers in France. We will be in touch with all tour members as soon as flight bookings are available!
