Hotels near rugby stadiums in Italy

Rugby union is one of the most popular sports in Italy. Many national and international rugby competitions are organised in the country every year and large numbers of fans, local and from abroad, regularly travel to catch their favourite team in action.

The major national competitions are the Super 10 and the Coppa Italia. The Super 10 is an annual league, which sees the strongest rugby union teams in Italy battle it out from September to May. Subsequently, the leading teams from the Super 10 advance to compete in prestigious international competitions such as the Heineken Cup and the European Challenge Cup. The most successful Italian rugby teams are traditionally from Veneto or Lombardy in the North of Italy.

International rugby fans taking flights to Italy will likely arrive at the main international airports in Rome and Milan. A good network of national and local transport services, often efficient and inexpensive, will help visiting rugby fans travel around this beautiful country with ease. Most major cities have tram or metro networks, allowing fans to book hotels in the city centres and take public transport to the game.
