College Football in Ireland

Your team, your people, one unforgettable week in Dublin — built around the game at the Aviva.

College football in Dublin has become one of the great travelling traditions in sport — the Aer Lingus College Football Classic and its successors at Aviva Stadium — and fan bases like Notre Dame and Nebraska have shown how far American fans will travel for it. Executive Global Tours builds fan travel around these games for alumni groups, fan communities and groups of friends. To be clear about what we are: we are not an official partner of the universities or the event — that channel belongs to the schools and their official partners. Our lanes are the ones we know best after 38 years of custom sports travel: alumni and fan-community travel, legends hosting, and golf around the game.

The Template That Works

Our proven shape, from our TCU v North Carolina 2026 trip: five nights in Dublin, a game ticket, a legends-hosted tailgate, welcome and farewell dinners, and two rounds of golf played with college-football legends. It works because everybody is looked after: the fans live the game week, the golfers get their rounds with the legends, and non-golfing companions get a full Dublin and Ireland programme of their own. For the 2027 game — Pitt v Wisconsin — the same template is available now: contact us for pricing. See our 2027 game page for the current fixture.

Three Ways to Travel

Dublin Game Week

The core trip: a premium game ticket, a team-side Dublin base close to the action, and a hosted welcome experience to start the week. Built for alumni groups and fan communities who want game week done properly, with Dublin wrapped around it.

Golf + Game Week

The full EGT version: everything in Dublin Game Week, plus two rounds of golf with college-football legends, a legends-hosted tailgate on game day and a farewell dinner to close the week. This is the template our TCU v North Carolina group travelled on — five nights, the game, the golf and the legends.

Ireland Touring + The Game

Make a holiday of it: the game week in Dublin, plus touring extensions to Belfast, Galway or Kerry — the Giant’s Causeway, the wild west coast, the Ring of Kerry — before or after the fixture. For many groups this becomes the trip of a lifetime, with a football game in the middle of it.

One Less Job for the Organizer

Organizing the group should not mean becoming its bank. EGT collects payment from each traveller individually, so the group organizer never has to handle everyone else’s money. You bring the people; we handle the bookings, the tickets and the payments.
