How to Organise a Cricket Trip in 2027: The Complete Club Guide

Planning your club's end of season Cricket Trip for 2027? Whether you're celebrating a premiership, wrapping up another long summer or just looking for a weekend away with your teammates, organising a cricket club trip doesn't have to be difficult.

At Mad Monday, we specialise in organising Cricket Trips for Australian sporting clubs, with group accommodation, FREE custom cricket singlets, nightlife, activities and flexible payment options all organised in one place.

From Cairns and the Gold Coast to Brisbane, Adelaide and Melbourne, we help cricket clubs celebrate the end of the season without leaving one unlucky teammate to organise everything.

Here's everything you need to know about planning your club's next Cricket Trip.

1. When Should You Organise Your End of Season Cricket Trip?

Most Australian community cricket competitions finish around March or April, making autumn a popular time for clubs to organise their end of season celebrations.

While some clubs head away immediately after their final match, others prefer to organise their trip a few weeks later to give everyone time to save and prepare.

Booking early can make a big difference, particularly when organising accommodation for larger groups.

At Mad Monday, clubs can secure their Cricket Trip with a deposit starting from just $60 per person, allowing teammates to pay their individual balances over time.

2. How Many Players Do You Need for a Cricket Trip?

One of the first things to work out is how many players are interested in going.

Mad Monday Cricket Trip packages generally require a minimum of 10 people, making them suitable for individual cricket teams, senior playing groups and larger club celebrations.

Whether you're organising a trip for 10 teammates or bringing 30 players along, our team can help arrange suitable accommodation and activities.

Our advice: Get an approximate number of interested players before choosing your destination. You don't need every detail finalised before making an enquiry.

3. How Much Does a Cricket Trip Cost?

The cost of an end of season Cricket Trip depends on your destination, accommodation, length of stay and the activities your club wants included.

Some cricket clubs prefer an affordable weekend with central accommodation and nightlife, while others want a premium package with 4 star accommodation, party buses, boat parties and VIP experiences.

Mad Monday offers different package options to suit your club's budget.

Our Cricket Trips can include:

  • 3 nights group accommodation

  • FREE custom Cricket Trip singlets

  • FREE Mad Monday hats and stubby holders

  • Best On, Worst On, Biggest Pest, Virgin and Sin Bin award singlets

  • VIP nightclub passes and exclusive venue offers

  • Access to Mad Monday events

  • Optional flights and group airport transfers

  • Party buses, brewery tours, boat parties and other activities

Your club can choose a package that suits its budget without having to organise every part of the weekend separately.

4. Where Are the Best Cricket Trip Destinations in Australia?

Choosing the right destination is one of the biggest decisions when organising a Cricket Trip.

Some teams want warm weather and pool parties, while others prefer a weekend exploring pubs, nightlife and local attractions.

Here are five popular destinations to consider for your 2027 end of season Cricket Trip.

Cairns Cricket Trips

Cairns is a popular choice for sporting clubs looking for warm weather, nightlife and group activities.

With central accommodation, bars, nightclubs and activities such as party boats and Great Barrier Reef experiences, Cairns offers plenty of options for a cricket club getaway.

Gold Coast Cricket Trips

The Gold Coast is ideal for cricket clubs looking for beaches, pool parties and nightlife.

Stay around Surfers Paradise, enjoy the local bars and clubs, or add activities such as a party bus, VIP booth or a day at the races.

Brisbane Cricket Trips

Brisbane offers a great combination of city accommodation, pubs, nightlife and organised group activities.

With entertainment precincts including Fortitude Valley and the CBD, clubs can enjoy a full weekend without needing to travel far between venues.

Adelaide Cricket Trips

Adelaide is a great option for clubs travelling from regional South Australia, Victoria and interstate.

With central accommodation, Hindley Street nightlife, pubs and plenty of group activities, Adelaide is well suited to a cricket club weekend away.

Melbourne Cricket Trips

Melbourne offers sporting events, famous pubs, nightlife and plenty of activities for cricket clubs.

Whether you're planning a relaxed weekend or a packed itinerary, Melbourne has accommodation and entertainment options to suit different groups.

5. Get Your Own Custom Cricket Trip Singlets

No end of season Cricket Trip is complete without the team merchandise.

When you book with Mad Monday, your club receives FREE custom Cricket Trip singlets featuring your chosen colours, player nicknames and numbers.

It's a chance to create something unique for your cricket club, whether you're celebrating a premiership or simply recognising another season together.

We also provide our popular Mad Monday award singlets, including Best On, Worst On, Biggest Pest, Virgin and Sin Bin.

These are always a popular addition to the weekend, particularly when it's time to hand out the club's end of season awards.

6. How Do You Collect Payments From Everyone?

Anyone who has organised a cricket club trip knows that collecting money can be one of the most frustrating parts.

One teammate pays immediately, another needs another week, and someone inevitably forgets altogether.

Mad Monday makes the process easier with an online booking and payment system that allows individual players to pay their own share.

Instead of one organiser collecting thousands of dollars from teammates, players can manage their payments individually.

With deposits starting from $60 per person and flexible payment options available, clubs can organise their trip well before the end of the cricket season.

7. What Activities Can You Add to a Cricket Trip?

Every cricket club has different ideas about what makes a good end of season celebration.

Some clubs are happy with accommodation and nightlife, while others want a full itinerary of organised activities.

Depending on your destination, Mad Monday can help arrange:

  • Private party buses

  • Boat parties and cruises

  • Brewery tours

  • VIP nightclub booths

  • Pool parties

  • Race day experiences

  • Pub crawls

  • Group meals and drinks packages

You can keep your Cricket Trip simple or build a bigger weekend around your club's budget and preferences.
