  • Director's introduction

    The Lions are coming. Are you ready?

    Every four years, the British & Irish Lions—featuring the best from England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales—unite for one of rugby’s greatest spectacles. In 2025, they return to Australia for the first time in over a decade, and anticipation is already building.

    The last time the Lions toured Australia, in 2013, they delivered a series for the ages. Led by head coach Warren Gatland and captain Sam Warburton, the Lions secured a historic 2–1 series victory. After sweeping their warm-up matches, they edged out the Wallabies in a nail-biting First Test, dominated the Second with tries from Sexton and North, and sealed the series with a commanding 41–16 win—their first series triumph since 1997.

    From June to August 2025, the Lions will play nine matches across Australia, including three epic Tests against the Wallabies. Expect fierce rivalry, sold-out stadiums, and a sea of red and gold in the stands. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or new to the game, this is rugby at its best.

    As an Authorised Reseller of Wallabies Travel, Events Travel is proud to offer official travel packages to all three Tests, plus the AUNZ XV match in Adelaide. Packages include hand-picked accommodation, official match tickets, exclusive Match Day Experiences, official merchandise, and more. Our expert team can also personalise your trip with additional services, delivering a seamless, stress-free experience from start to finish.

Events Travel STUNNED us!

Events Travel provided an amazing hotel, walking distance from the Australian Open and tickets that stunned us day after day, game after game. We have already booked Wimbledon with them. No wonder my A.I. search for the best tennis packager placed Events Travel at the top of the list. That’s where they belong.

Very convenient. Book everything together.

Booking through Events travel gave us the opportunity to purchase Australian Open tennis tickets prior to the general ticket sales. They gave us an extensive list of hotels to choose from. We booked tickets at Rod Laver arena which we were very happy with. We hope to use Events Travel again.
