What happens on tour stays on tour is a notorious phrase or saying agreed to by men who get together and travel either interstate or overseas for sporting tours. In essence, the phrase means that all exploits during the tour must be kept strictly confidential, never to be discussed with anyone outside the group.〔Gilbert, Keith (2005, p. 70). (Sexuality, sport and the culture of risk ). Published by Meyer & Meyer Sport. . ISBN 978-1-84126-160-7.〕 In more recent years, the phrase has also been applied to men attending music gigs, going on business trips and fishing holidays. The term is commonly used in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Canada and the United States and is also known as "what goes on tour stays on tour,"〔〔(What goes on tour no longer always stay on tour ) (2009).

ISBN 978-0-470-27915-1.〕 "what happens on the road stays on the road,"〔 and, among members of the United States military, speaking of temporary duty assignment, "what happens TDY stays TDY."〔Bankston, Bobby. (Diamond Talk: What happens at Osan doesn’t stay at Osan ) (2008)〕 ==Background== The phrase has been described by Samantha Brett, a writer for the Age, as an "''unspoken male pact that for centuries can never be broken''".〔 In essence, if you were there you may discuss the events, but if you were not there, you get nothing. In contrast, Rugby for Dummies describes the phrase as, particularly funny, embarrassing or debauched moments are for consumption only by the tourists themselves and not casual listeners back home.〔 It is believed that the phrase originated in 1970 during an overseas rugby union trip, and quickly cascaded into many other sporting codes such as cricket and football.〔Syed, Matthew (26 June 2008). (Why does what happens on tour stay on tour? ). Times Online. Retrieved on 19 August 2009.〕 The phrase has subsequently evolved into a "code of honour" amongst those males participating in the trip or tour. Many groups or teams travelling interstate or overseas have adopted the phrase, that mainly relates to sexual conquests and binge drinking. However, the phrase can also relate to other forms of unacceptable behaviour and etiquette.〔 It has been stated that there are two rules embedded in the code. Firstly, it must be a group of males in team environment, travelling away from home, where they are unconstrained from the usual forms of acceptable behaviour.〔 The second rule is that all exploits must be kept strictly confidential, never to be discussed with anyone outside the group, particularly wives and girlfriends (also known as WAGs).〔Brett, Samantha (2006). (What happens on tour, stays on tour ). The Age. Retrieved on 15 August 2009〕 Research showed that the men in sporting teams spent most of their time either thinking about, or engaging in recreational activities.〔McKenna, Steve & Ducharme, M. J. (2009). (What Happens on Tour, Stays on Tour ). Curtin University of Technology. Retrieved on 15 August 2009〕 The phrase however, is not restricted to males. Australian Hockeyroo player Sarah Taylor when asked what her most memorable thing to ever happen whilst away on tour responded, "What goes on tour stays on tour".〔(Sarah YOUNG (née Taylor) ) (2006). Hockey Australia. Retrieved on 27 August 2009.〕 Anna Coogan, a writer for the Evening Herald in Ireland stated that the code of honour also applied to women as much as men.〔Coogan, Anna (17 July 2008).
