Horned Frogs are hopping the pond for the 2026 Aer Lingus Classic, when TCU takes on UNC in Dublin. To help fans make the most of the trek to Ireland, TCU has worked with official partner On Location to offer more than a dozen travel packages centered on the August 29 season-opening football game at Aviva Stadium.
All trips include tickets to the game and the TCU Guinness Storehouse Welcome Experience in Dublin, plus 3- to 5-star accommodations with a full Irish breakfast each morning, commemorative gifts, a pass that offers entry to some of Dublin’s top attractions and a ticket for a hop-on hop-off bus with stops throughout the Irish capital.
Participants can select from itineraries ranging from three nights in Dublin to nine nights that expand the trip to Kerry and Galway (or, for those who want to see more of the UK, to Edinburgh and London). Irish highlights include touring Blarney Castle, home to the Blarney Stone, and taking in the views at the dramatic Cliffs of Moher on Ireland’s west coast. A seven-night golf trip presents an alternative: a round of golf at each of three different courses in Southwest Ireland.

Travelers may also customize their plans with optional excursions and add-on destinations, like Cork or even Rome.
