Uniting Regional Clubs in Friendly Competition
Uniting Regional Clubs in Friendly Competition
The Great Southern Invitational is an annual tournament proudly organised by the Great Southern Badminton Association, bringing together players from across the region in a celebration of sport, community, and competitive spirit.
Launched in 2024, the inaugural event marked a key step in the development of badminton across the Great Southern region, with towns competing in a friendly but spirited showdown. Held for the first time on Saturday, 2nd March 2024, the tournament was designed to foster connection between local clubs and establish a new tradition in the regional sporting calendar.
The 2025 tournament was hosted in Denmark, WA, and took place over two days—Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th March. Building on the success of its debut, the second edition expanded the format with three divisions, allowing teams to compete against others of similar skill levels and creating a more balanced and engaging experience for all participants.
With each year, the Great Southern Invitational continues to grow—welcoming more teams, increasing the level of competition, and strengthening connections across the region. With ongoing development and community support, the tournament aims to become a standout event in the regional sporting calendar.
2026 Tournament
2026 Tournament
The Great Southern Badminton Association regrets to announce that the 2026 Great Southern Invitational Tournament, scheduled for 16–17 May in Albany as part of the Albany 2026 Bicentenary program, will not proceed this year.
With rising travel and cost-of-living pressures impacting regional participation, no invited towns were able to register teams for the event. While this is disappointing, we understand the challenges facing our badminton community and remain committed to supporting accessible opportunities for players across the region.
Set against the backdrop of Albany’s bicentenary year, the tournament was intended as a celebration of badminton and community spirit, and we look forward to bringing that vision to life in future editions.
