Table Tennis Australia (TTA) is excited to announce the support of Goulburn Mulwaree Council for both the 2026 TTA Tour New South Wales and the 2026 TTA National Championships (U19, U21, Open and Para), with two major national events set to be hosted at Veolia Arena in Goulburn.

Goulburn will welcome two significant events on the national table tennis calendar later this year, including the sport’s National Championships, reinforcing the city’s growing reputation as a host of high-quality sporting events and major competitions.

The 2026 TTA Tour New South Wales, the third stop of the four-event national tour series, will be held on 30–31 May, before the national spotlight returns to Goulburn for the 2026 TTA National Senior, Youth & Para Championships from 6–11 July, marking a major milestone for both the city and the sport.

The National Championships will crown national champions across multiple categories and welcoming athletes, coaches, officials and supporters from around the country. Hosting this flagship event underscores Goulburn’s capacity to deliver on the biggest stage.

Both events will be staged at Veolia Arena, a modern, multi-purpose venue well suited to high-performance competition. With its excellent playing conditions, spectator-friendly layout and central location, the arena provides an ideal environment for athletes to perform at their best while offering an engaging experience for fans and the local community.
