Your sport is your passport.
International sports tours.
Play against local clubs. See their cities the way they do.
See the world through the game you love.
Over a decade ago, we packed our gear, boarded a flight, and went overseas looking for competition. What we found, over years of playing and coaching abroad, was that sport is so much more than the games we play: it’s a way to connect.
We’ve seen the game break down language barriers, turn opponents into friends, and take us places we’d never have found on our own. In 2018 we turned that into The North. We wanted other athletes, teams, and schools to see the world the way we did: through the competition, culture, and the people we’d never have met any other way.
Through our community of teams, local guides, and friends across the globe, we help you do the same.

We’ll take care of the rest.
Tell us about your team and the tour you want, and we’ll handle the planning, coordination, scheduling, and on-the-ground support to make it happen.
Schools & Programs
Train together. Travel together. Grow together.
International travel should inspire your athletes, not burn out your staff. From pre-season training camps to team-building journeys abroad, we’ll build a tour around your goals, your athletes, and what you want them to take home from the trip.

What Makes a North Tour Different
Europe
Competition
Every tour starts with the game. We match you with local clubs that fit your level, for competitive games on their home turf. You’re not just stepping onto another rink or field. You’re stepping into another sporting culture.
Connection
Sport has a way of breaking down language and other barriers. Whether it’s with your own teammates or the opponents you’re sharing a meal with, these are the friendships no travel company can manufacture, and they’re the moments you’ll remember most.
Culture
We’ll show you the highlights, but also what’s beyond: the food, the neighbourhoods, and the corners of a place you’d only find if someone who lived there showed you around.
“The games brought us to Europe. The people brought us back.”
The North Stories
The games bring people together, but it’s the stories that bring people back.
Athletes, coaches, and families have travelled with The North across Europe and beyond, and these are the stories they’re still telling years later.

Each tour is different. Team tours are completely customizable.
What is a 'Custom Tour'?
It’s your trip, built from scratch. Custom experiences are fully curated international sports tours designed around your group, your sport, your level and your vision. Competition, travel, and culture, woven together into something that doesn’t exist until we build it for you.
