TOURNAMENT CALENDAR 2026

Below is a list of Padel New Zealand–sanctioned and National tournaments scheduled for 2026.

This calendar includes only events sanctioned by Padel New Zealand (delivered by affiliated clubs under the Sanctioned Competition Framework) and National tournaments organised and delivered directly by Padel New Zealand. Additional sanctioned tournaments will be added to this calendar throughout 2026 as clubs submit applications and events are formally or conditionally approved.

Sanctioned tournaments are club-delivered events that award Tier 2 Padel New Zealand ranking points. Sanctioned competitions are intended to enable affiliated clubs of all sizes to run events and expand competitive opportunities for players across the country, particularly at a local level, while still being open to players from outside the region. A maximum of a player’s top three (3) Tier 2 results within a rolling 52-week period count toward their Tier 2 ranking. You can read more about what a sanctioned tournament is here.

National tournaments are Tier 1 events owned and operated by Padel New Zealand, hosted by an affiliated club, and award Tier 1 national ranking points.

See our Rankings page for more information about points allocation.

Independent or social (non-sanctioned) tournaments may also take place throughout the year and will be listed separately by individual clubs through their own channels.

Full event details and entry information for sanctioned events will be provided by the host clubs.
