NZ Curling Tournaments and Training Camps 2026

NZ Curling hosts a range of tournaments in our domestic season, including secondary schools, juniors (U21's), open grades, seniors, and training camps.  

All tournament entries will remain closed until Monday, April 6th, at 8 p.m.,  ensuring that all potential competitors have ample time to plan their season. This also provides a fair opportunity for everyone to enter the NZ Mixed with restricted entries, and allows the administration time to prepare for the upcoming season.

Get ready for the highly anticipated 2026 NZ Curling season!  Entries will open on  Monday, April 6th, at 8 p.m., marking the start of an exciting new season. Below are the dates for the upcoming season.
