Throughout the span of more than 3 decades, the Australian Men’s & Mixed Netball Championships has undergone a remarkable evolution. With participation from teams representing all 7 states and territories, the event has transformed into a platform where competitors contend for a coveted national title and the opportunity to be selected for the Australian team.

Organised by the Australian Men’s and Mixed Netball Association, this event offers an exceptional platform for top-tier athletes to proudly represent their state or territories while engaging in nationwide competition. It serves as a steppingstone towards being selected for the Australian teams and competing on the global stage.
Structured in a round-robin format, the tournament spans across seven days. The competition is divided into seven divisions, with teams adhering to INF regulations. Games are played across four quarters of 15 minutes each.
