The Newcastle International Summer Cup is quickly becoming the best summer youth soccer tournament in the north of England. The tournament is held at the end of July during the school holidays at the Newcastle University which makes this the perfect soccer tournament for teams looking for a pre season challenge and the best part of all the tournament caters for both boys & girls teams
We are excited to be an exclusive partner for teams from Ireland and Northern Ireland to attend the Newcastle International Summer Cup. This tournament allows us provide an amazing opportunity for teams looking for a pre season tournament in July and compete against various international teams from around the world, which includes teams from Ireland, England, UAE, Canada, United States, Australia, and more. With more than 100 teams participating each year, it’s a tournament that promises to to showcase your teams talents before the season begins.
The tournament is open to all abilities and there will be a mixed standard throughout the event, however after the open group stages the teams will be split into a Cup & Plate event on day 2 which will hopefully mean teams will be playing equal level abilities on day 2 of the tournament.
