And now for a word from the organisers:

Sydney is thrilled to host this year’s TRANS TASMAN Tournament – the ultimate Badminton Tournament uniting LGBTIQ+ badminton players from across Australia and New Zealand! 

You're all invited to join us in Sydney for the 2025 Trans Tasman Tournament.

Date: Saturday 25 October
Location: NBC Alexandria, 8/190 Bourke Rd, Alexandria
PLUS Welcome Drinks will be held on Friday 24 October, 6:30pm at The Rose of Australia, Erskineville. After party venue details are still to be finalised.

This year’s edition is extra special as we introduce a B and C Grade Women’s Division alongside the Open Gender categories (A, B, C)! This exciting expansion comes after valuable feedback from our female players and Sydney’s commitment to building a strong women’s contingent for 2025.

Now is the time to start rallying your teammates and planning your future partnerships (the badminton type of course). Whether you're a seasoned player or competing for the first time, this is your chance to compete, connect, and celebrate the incredible spirit of our LGBTIQ+ badminton community.

Details including registration info, costs, inclusions and pre/post tournament events are still in the works. We haven't had much luck in acquiring any decent accommodation deals, so at this point it's most likely players will need to seek their own. However, we'll definitely keep you posted.

We're hoping that by late April we can open up registration and give everyone the complete run down. Unfortunately a recent Open Day hindered our organising efforts, but rest assured we're on it now.

In the meantime, lock in the date, find your competition partner, book your flights (if you'd like), spread the word, and get ready for an unforgettable tournament!

Your Sydney hosts are very excited to be welcoming you all to this year's TRANS TASMAN TOURNAMENT 2025.
