The 2016 TG4 All Star tour will depart from Dublin on March 15th and return on the 23rd. The 2016 TG4 All Star tour will also see each of the players visiting local schools to introduce the sport to American students and they will also take part in a series of coaching sessions to leave a lasting legacy of the tour in San Diego.
