THE COMPETITION
We are ready to showcase the Top End of the NT to our visitors in the midst of the dry season, the most magnificent time of year!
With history, community spirit, and world-class competition at its core, the 2026 Australian Polocrosse National Championships in Darwin is set to be a landmark event—one that will leave a legacy on the sport, its players, and the local economy.
What makes this event even more remarkable is that it is predominantly volunteer-run, driven by a passionate community that has successfully delivered this event in Darwin in 1988, 2002, and 2014. The 2026 Nationals will continue this proud tradition, highlighting the unwavering support of the Northern Territory’s sporting community.
