New Zealand Festival of Squash 2022 – 3-13 November 2022
For the first time at Trustpower Baypark our Lion Foundation Centre will be transformed into a world class Squash facility with the all-glass court taking centre-stage as part of New Zealand’s largest ever squash festival.
The festival launches with the Nations Cup (3-6 November) – the testing ground for a major initiative with the inaugural Squash FORWARD series. A sequence of new squash events intended to trial innovative changes to the way the sport is delivered. The Nations Cup will comprise eight teams of two players – one male and one female – from the same country to add a new dimension to the typical competition structure in squash and will include an alternative scoring format.
Following the Cup is the NZ Open (8-13 November).
The biggest squash tournament on the NZ Squash calendar is back!
After almost 30 years since the last NZ Men’s Open, and 13 years since the Women’s Championship, this will no doubt be an exciting week of fast paced competition! Our very own Paul Coll and Joelle King are set to be the star attractions amongst a top-class field of internationally ranked players. Players will battle for the lion’s share of a US$150,000 prize fund.
