Where did you hear that phrase?
I imagine it means a week tomorrow (8 days' time) but have never heard it phrased like that. It's not common in this area.

| I have seen it in a vocabulary book. The title: Build your vocabulary1 by John Flower and Michael Berman. Page:9. What do you mean by a week tomorrow? I did not get your explanation! |

| The expression is familiar to me. It means what Beeesneees says. For example, if it's now Sunday 11th, then tomorrow is Monday 12th and "tomorrow week" is Monday 19th. |

8 days' time.
So if today is Monday, 1st January, tomorrow week will be Tuesday, 9th January.

| So, we can say it means a week after tomorrow, can`t we? |

It may not be a week after tomorrow.
If today is Wednesday 1st, Thursday 2nd, Friday 3rd, Saturday 4th or Sunday 5th, then Tuesday week would be Tuesday 14th
I would usually say 'a week Tuesday' or 'a week on Tuesday'.

But that's "Tuesday week. "Tomorrow week" is always a week after tomorrow, as far as I understand it. Not sure if we're talking at cross-purposes... |

Oh sorry, yes. I lost track of the original question.
