Leinster School of Excellence Set for Syracuse in the Summer

Young athletes learning to play the Leinster way.

Syracuse, NY – Coming off the success of the past two years, Leinster Rugby in partnership with Syracuse University has announced the third edition of its School of Excellence.

The camp is set to run July 27-August 1, 2025. The School of Excellence camp and clinics will provide aspiring rugby athletes from age 13-17 (girls and boys) with a comprehensive rugby training and educational program that simulates a week in the life of a professional rugby player. Campers will learn to play the Leinster way, as they gain a greater understanding of the game and learn about values such as teamwork, commitment, integrity, and communication. The residential camp has attracted campers from all over the US as well as campers from Europe.

Leinster Rugby is a world-leading professional and amateur rugby organization located in Dublin, Ireland, with an unrivaled track record in rugby talent development. Leinster’s rugby athletes currently represent over 70% percent of the Irish Rugby national team, currently ranked second by World Rugby.  Leinster has won the United Rugby Championship (and before that, when the league called the Pro 14 and the Pro 12) six times since 2013 and is a nine-time European Champions Cup finalist since 2009. 

The School of Excellence residential camp has been so successful that Leinster Rugby and Syracuse University are now offering non-residential partner camps in Maryland (hosted by Georgetown Preparatory School) and Colorado (hosted by Rugby Colorado). Dates and more information about these two satellite camps will be confirmed soon.
