The International English Summer Cup closes the season: a three-day youth tournament in Manchester on Friday 23 to Sunday 25 July 2027, for touring teams from the UK and abroad. Fixtures, hotels and the whole trip are organised as one package.
The tournament
Three tournament days rather than two, in the home of the English game, with international opposition. Age groups run Under 7 to Under 16 for boys, with Girls' Under 12, Under 14 and Under 16 categories, using the same age-group formats as the Easter Cup (3-a-side at Under 7 up to 11-a-side from Under 14). Every game has a qualified referee, a dedicated Revel tour manager is on site and first aid runs for the whole tournament.
Medals for all in the non-competitive age categories; medals for all finalists and trophies for the winners at each final. It is the season's last medal ceremony. As at Easter, fixture counts and the number of cups in each age group follow the entries.
Where you stay
This is a hotel tournament, not a holiday-park one. Teams stay in quality hotels or modern university halls, included in the tournament price, with the property confirmed with your quote. It changes the feel of the weekend: evenings are in the city rather than on a park, and the club's base is somewhere the parents can walk out of.
Around the football
Manchester and the north-west are why touring clubs pick this one. Stadium days at the region's grounds are the obvious add-on: Old Trafford, the Etihad and Anfield all offer tours, and the National Football Museum is in the city. Tours are subject to availability and do not run on home match days, so tell us early which you want and we build it into the itinerary.
Beyond the stadiums, optional excursions are built into the itinerary rather than sold separately. Tell us what you want the trip to include and we plan it around the football.
Making it a tour
A club coming from abroad rarely wants only the tournament days. Revel handles the whole trip: fixtures, transfers, accommodation and excursions, planned around your travel. Ask us about a longer stay with the tournament in the middle. Fully tailor-made trips live on the tours page.
Getting there
- By air. Fly into Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham or London and your coach meets you at arrivals, with a Revel rep if you want one. Revel does not book flights.
- From Ireland. Dublin to Holyhead is the crossing that lands you closest; Rosslare to Fishguard is the southern route. Ask us about coach and ferry for a Summer Cup party.
- From Britain. Most clubs drive or take the coach.
Schools and mixed groups
Schools enter on the same terms as clubs. A school party can keep its numbers flexible until ten weeks before travel, and the per-person price holds as long as the group stays above the minimum it was quoted on. Revel supplies risk assessments and, for overseas groups, the documents a visa application needs. Detail on the school tours page.
Booking it
One share link through Revel Clubhouse, families book and pay their own deposits, balance ten weeks before travel, financial protection under the UK Package Travel Regulations. The from-price and live availability are on the tournament page; the cost guide explains what moves the number.
Price it for your club
Tell us the tournament you are looking at, your age groups and roughly how many are travelling. We come back within one working day with dates, availability and a per-person price. You can also try the instant quote or check availability for your dates.
