Amsterdam Cup Football Tournament

The Amsterdam Cup has been running for 10 years and dozens of schools and youth teams travel to Holland to play each year. Around 200 teams from 10 different countries will participate in 2009 which makes it one of the largest football tournaments in Europe.

The tournament is held at 2/3 different sports facilities in Amsterdam on both grass and artificial pitches. All football matches are played on Saturday May 23rd and Sunday May 24th. Participation in the Amsterdam Cup can easily be combined with a visit to the Amsterdam Arena Ajax Stadium, a canal cruise or a visit to Dam Square. Come to Amsterdam and enjoy this great competition! Contact Us today!

For school groups we recommend centrally located youth hostels in Amsterdam or a leisure resort 20 minutes from the city centre. Most budgets can be accommodated but book early as school rugby tours to Amsterdam are very popular and accommodation will be oversubscribed.
