Football in New Zealand

The world's game, on tour

School football tours, or soccer tours if that is what you call it at home. Football is the sport most of the world plays, which gives a touring team more choice of opposition than any other code. We will be honest about where we are at. Our touring history is strongest in rugby, hockey and volleyball, and football is a code we are building on the same foundations: the schools, clubs and people we already know. If you have a football side that wants to tour, tell us the level and the dates and we will show you what we can put together.

New Zealand is where we live and where every relationship we have started. Since 2019 we have hosted school and club groups from Argentina here, often with several sports on the one tour: rugby, hockey, volleyball, basketball and handball. Most tours run through the North Island. Rotorua for geothermal country and a Māori cultural evening, Hawke's Bay and Wellington for games and the capital's museums, then home to Taranaki, where your team trains and plays under the mountain. Every match day ends the same way, with presentations and time with the host team. Geoff and Cole plan it and run it in person. Tell us your sports, your level and your dates and we will shape the route around them.

Football Tours in New Zealand

About two weeks

Football tours to New Zealand, built around your team. Football is a newer code for us, so we will be straight about how we plan it: through the same schools and regions that host our rugby, hockey and volleyball teams, on a route we know well. That means the hosting, the travel and the people looking after you are proven, and the fixtures are arranged fresh for your squad once we know your level. Below is the North Island route most of our groups follow.

Before you ask

Questions, answered

How much does a tour cost?

Every tour is quoted individually because every tour is built around your team — sport, level, dates and budget. Tell us what a great trip looks like and we will come back with an honest price and a first draft itinerary.

Can we customise our itinerary?

Yes — no two tours are the same. Every Brock Sports tour starts with your team, your sport and your goals, and we build it with you, fixture by fixture.

What is included in the price?

Every quote sets it out plainly. A typical tour covers games, training, accommodation, transport, breakfasts and dinners, and the cultural and sightseeing programme. Lunches and personal travel insurance are usually separate, and we will spell out anything else that is.

Which meals are included?

Breakfasts and dinners are included as standard. Lunches are usually at your own cost, so players can choose for themselves.

What happens if the weather turns?

We adjust the day and offer a suitable alternative wherever we can. It is New Zealand, so we plan with the weather in mind.

Do you run multi sport school tours?

Yes, it is the tour we run most. Recent school groups have travelled with rugby, hockey and volleyball teams together, and with rugby, basketball, hockey and handball. Boys and girls teams tour as one party and play on the same days where we can.
