Upcoming events SAVE THE DATES!
This year's 2025 Albany Tournament was bigger and better than ever! This year we introduced exciting changes to the tournament: a new two-division format that ensured fairer, more competitive play for all skill levels, seven-minute timed games which saw game reaching extremely high scores and strong rounds and an enhanced social experience with the addition of a fun-filled quiz night alongside the traditional tournament dinner.
The event was held over the weekend of August 2nd & 3rd at the Albany Leisure and Aquatic Centre, eight courts and 90+ extraordinary players from all over the great southern travelled and gathered to play badminton.

The Albany Tournament wouldn't have been possible without the tireless efforts of our dedicated volunteers and committee members, who work year-round to raise funds and support every aspect of the event. Their commitment is the foundation of our success. Just as vital is the generous support of our sponsors, and in 2025 we are especially grateful to Rio Tinto for their substantial grant, which has played a major role in bringing this year’s tournament to life. We also sincerely thank Southern Ports for their continued and valued support. Together, our volunteers and sponsors make the Albany Tournament a reality.
