The North Island’s Flagship Teams Table Tennis Event
The North Island Teams Championships is one of the highlights of the national table tennis calendar, traditionally held every King’s Birthday weekend. This exciting event brings together teams from across the northern associations to battle it out for the title of best team in the North Island.
Featuring junior categories (U13, U15, U19) and Open grades for seniors, the tournament offers opportunities for players of all ages and abilities to compete in a spirited team environment.
More than just a competition, the North Island Teams event is a showcase of teamwork, depth, and regional pride. It provides an excellent platform for developing players to gain experience alongside established athletes, while strengthening the bonds between associations across the North Island.
Every year, the atmosphere is electric — a true celebration of the passion, talent and community that make table tennis thrive.

Strength in Association Spirit
There’s something special about representing your association as part of a team. The North Island Teams Championships captures that spirit perfectly — players and supporters of all ages rallying together, celebrating every point, and taking pride in seeing their home association colours compete against the best from across the North Island.
