The Victorian Championships are the pinnacle of the VMSA calendar and the defining Masters event in Victoria each year.
The Victorian Championships are more than just a tournament. Across all age divisions, the tournament brings together the state’s strongest fields to compete for official Victorian titles in Open and Graded divisions.
The Championships demand a venue capable of hosting strong divisions, managing competitive depth, and supporting a large playing field across the weekend. It requires scale, organisation, and a club culture that understands competitive squash at a high level.
The partnership for the Victorian Championships between VMSA and Mulgrave Country Club reflects that alignment
Whether you are competing for a Victorian title or simply taking part in the state’s showcase event, the 2026 Victorian Championships promise high quality squash, great sportsmanship, and the unmistakable spirit of Masters competition.
