We believe we have planned a "dream" itinerary for our sports enthusiasts as well as a very well-rounded tour that anyone would love! The tour is balanced with some of Ireland's most romantic & historic settings with visits to some of our very favorite places. The only other time the two teams faced off in Ireland was in Dublin in November 1996--16 years ago! Our Info Session will go over the details of our itinerary as you learn more about this "one-of-a-kind" spectacular tour!

The Notre-Dame-Navy game has been played annually since 1927, making it one of the longest uninterrupted intersectional series in college football. Famed rivalries do not come any better than this! The 2012 rematch is scheduled for September 1, 2012 in Dublin and will take place in the brand new, €410 million state-of-the-art Aviva Stadium (built on the grounds of the old Lansdowne Road Stadium and is the home to the Irish Rugby Union Team and the Irish National Soccer Team). The Aviva Stadium is one of the finest venues in the world--few stadiums anywhere have attended to the detail, aesthetics and fan comfort as in Aviva Stadium (51,700 covered spectator seats).
