contents Hurwitz theory provides a large variety of enumerative problems related to algebraic geometry, mathematical physics, and combinatorics. We give a general framework to approach the large genus asymptotics of Hurwitz theory using only elementary methods and apply it to several types of Hurwitz numbers: single, double, or with an arbitrary numbers of fixed ramifications; simple and / or including completed cycles type of ramification and / or finitely many blocks of weakly monotone and / or strictly monotone types of ramifications. These, to the best of our knowledge, cover most of the Hurwitz numbers studied, and include for instance correlators of the HCIZ matrix model, Grothendieck dessins d'enfant, weighted Hurwitz numbers, and Gromov-Witten invariants of the Riemann sphere. We also apply our method to b-content Hurwitz numbers. As a specialisation, we recover some previously known about the large genus asymptotics of Hurwitz theory, namely classical results by Hurwitz and recent results of Do-He-Robertson, C. Yang, and results connected to recent work of X. Li.
