42nd International U16 Kruikentournament

The International U16 Kruikentournament (IKT) was first held in 1978, at that time still at TMHC Forward. Over the years, the tournament has developed into a large and well-known event. A tradition. The list of participants included illustrious clubs as well as regional and even national selections from all over Europe. Later internationals played along.
After the merger of Forward and TMHC Tilburg the tournament moved to the new HC Tilburg.

For a while, the tournament seemed to disappear, but fortunately, after a five-year break, it was resumed in 2025. Among the participants were both finalists of the Dutch national boys U16 championship.

At Pentecost, on Saturday, 23 May and Sunday, 24 May 2026, we are ready for the 42nd edition. The tournament is open to teams playing in the highest national U16 leagues. Further information can be found on our website: www.kruikentournament.com or by email: kruikentournament@hctilburg.com.
