Australian Polocrosse Nationals - Darwin, NT

10/05/2026

We’d like to thank everyone for their patience and understanding following the postponement of the 2026 Australian Polocrosse Nationals in Darwin to 2027.

We are currently working closely with Polocrosse Australia to confirm new dates for 2027, and we’ll share updates as soon as they become available.

Ticket holders or those who have purchase merchandise, please check your emails for options regarding refunds or continuation of purchase to 2027.

In the meantime, Polocrosse in the NT is still very much going ahead! The local NT calendar is now out, and we’d love to welcome anyone still planning to head north for the dry season to come along and enjoy some great polocrosse, Territory hospitality, and all that the Top End has to offer.

Over the past few weeks, we have been doing a lot of listening, talking, and number crunching to understand whether we could confidently deliver the Australian Polocrosse Nationals this year.

This has included a national competitor survey, discussions with all States, and ongoing communications with key stakeholders.

After taking everything into account, the Northern Territory Polocrosse Association and Polocrosse Australia have made the difficult decision to postpone the Nationals
to June 2027.

We know this is disappointing news. There has been a huge amount of effort already put in by players, families, sponsors, volunteers and supporters, and we do not take that lightly.

But the reality is, the current environment is making things really tough. The sudden rise and uncertainty of fuel costs, concerns around fuel availability and long-distance travel with horses, combined with the indication of reduced participation all point to one thing: we would not be able to deliver the kind of Nationals that everyone expects and deserves.

Postponing gives us the best chance to do this properly. It means we can protect the
quality of the competition, look after our people and horses, and make sure the event is strong, well supported and something we can all be proud of.

Please refer to the official website for the event and Polocrosse Australia for further event updates.
