New Zealand's Premier Table Tennis Championship
The NZ Open Championships is the pinnacle of competitive table tennis in New Zealand — the one tournament each year where national titles are decided, careers are measured, and the best of the sport comes together on a single stage. Players travel from associations right across the country to compete, bringing regional pride and competitive intensity to every match. International players also feature in the draw, raising the level of competition and adding a global dimension to a tournament with genuine national significance. This is where New Zealand's table tennis story is written.
Crowning Champions Across Every Event
No other tournament in New Zealand crowns national champions across as many divisions as the NZ Open.
Senior Open titles carry the weight of the country's highest individual honour, while Graded events at B, C, and D level crown champions at every tier of the national ranking system.
Junior titles span three age groups — U13, U15, and U19 — producing champions who will go on to define the next generation of New Zealand table tennis.
The Association Team Event adds further national titles across Open, U19, U15, and U13 categories, making this the one event on the calendar where a single week can define a career.
Associations Battle for National Glory
The Association Team Event is one of the most anticipated contests at the NZ Open, with associations from around New Zealand fielding teams across Open, U19, U15, and U13 categories to compete for national team honours.
Teams of three players compete in a structured match format demanding depth, tactical flexibility, and collective resilience across every rubber. Representing your association at the national level brings a distinct competitive edge, where every point carries the weight of regional pride.
Winning the national team title here is a benchmark achievement in New Zealand table tennis.
A Tournament Steeped in History
The NZ Open has produced extraordinary champions and moments across decades of competition, building one of the most compelling records in New Zealand domestic sport.
The men's singles roll of honour includes Olympians and multi-time champions who have returned year after year in pursuit of titles that define legacies — with records for most titles won continuing to be chased and broken.
The women's draw has its own storied history, featuring players who have represented New Zealand on the Olympic stage and dominated the national title race across multiple generations.
Each year, the tournament also proves that history is still being made — young players have repeatedly claimed titles at ages that rewrite the record books, while international competitors add a global dimension to a championship with genuine prestige. The NZ Open is not just this year's tournament; it is a chapter in a much longer story.
Every Level, Every Player
The NZ Open is built to accommodate the full spectrum of competitive table tennis in New Zealand, from the top of the national rankings to players entering their first national event.
Graded events at B, C, and D level are structured so that players compete within their ranking tier, ensuring competitive matches and a genuine path to a national graded title.
Junior pathways across U13, U15, and U19 give emerging talent the chance to test themselves at the highest domestic level, with national titles on the line in every age group.
Graded players can also enter combined doubles, adding another dimension to their competition. Whatever your level, the NZ Open has an event for you.
