Upcoming events SAVE THE DATES!
The Albany Tournament is back in 2026, building on the success of last year's biggest and most enjoyable event yet! Following the positive reception of the two-division format and expanded social program in 2025, we're excited to bring another fantastic weekend of competitive badminton and great company.
As part of Albany's 2026 Bicentenary celebrations, this year's tournament promises to be a special occasion, welcoming players from across the region to celebrate both our sport and this historic milestone.
The event will be held on Saturday 1st August and Sunday 2nd August 2026 at the Albany Leisure and Aquatic Centre once again. Use this link to get directions.
We've worked hard to keep the cost of entry as low as possible. The entry fee is TBA per player.
We look forward to welcoming you to Albany for a memorable weekend of badminton, friendship, and Bicentenary celebrations!
Registrations close on 19th July 2026.
The tournament committee will organize teams and split the competition into two skill-based divisions. This ensures stronger players face tougher challenges, while less experienced players compete in a more manageable and encouraging environment.
When you sign up for the competition, we’ll create teams based on skill level to keep things fair and fun. If it’s your first time signing up and you have a partner in mind, just let us know — we’ll do our best to put you in a team together. For those that have been before, you’ll be teamed up with players you might not have played with before, which is a great chance to mix it up and meet new people.
The Saturday evening dinner returns in 2026—and this year, it’s getting even better with the addition of our first-ever quiz night! It's the perfect way to unwind, connect with fellow players, and add some extra fun to a memorable weekend of badminton.
The event will be held at Motel Le Grande. Use this link to get directions to the event. Cost PRICE TBA.
The Albany Tournament would not be possible without the tireless efforts of our dedicated volunteers, 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 2026 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. Together, our volunteers and sponsors make the Albany Tournament a reality.
