Next Irish Cup - 2021

Dear 2020 Irish Cup Travelers,

I know you have been waiting patiently for travel updates. I now have information to share with you. As you may know, due to the virus, the Irish cup has been canceled this year.

While travel to the UK and Ireland continues, it is not possible for an international group to enter the country and tour. Therefore, this year's trip to London and Ireland for the Irish Cup has been rescheduled to 2021.

The destinations will stay the same for next year, with similar travel dates. Specific travel details will be distributed when available.

Due to airline restrictions (that do not allow refunds nor individual vouchers) and monetary losses due to exchange rates, I've requested the travel company apply all previous payments to the 2021 trip.

Please note that because this is a group reservation, there will be no individual refunds

Over the next few weeks, I will reach out to everyone to answer any questions you may have regarding our plans.

Thank you for your patience and support during this difficult time.
Don Madden
