Leinster Hockey Heads to The Hague Tournament
April 01, 2026
The Leinster Hockey Development Programme teams travel to the Netherlands this week to compete in the Hague Tournament, joining a number of top teams from across Europe.
Leinster U16 and U18 Girls and Boys, along with the Leinster South U18 Girls, will take part in the three-day tournament, which promises to be a memorable experience both on and off the pitch.
The tournament runs from Friday, April 3rd to Sunday, April 5th, with teams competing in a round-robin format before progressing to play-off stages on Sunday. It’s a fantastic opportunity for players to test themselves against strong international opposition.
We would also like to extend a sincere thank you to our dedicated sponsors, AerCap, for their continued support of the Leinster Hockey Development Programme.
