Baseball Victoria is excited to host the 2026 Barclay Cup from Sunday 27 September to Saturday 3 October, while also introducing a new tournament which will be played at the same time: the Under 21 Women’s Invitational.
Thank you to the clubs that expressed interest in hosting these events. We are excited to announce this year’s hosts:
- Springvale Lions Baseball Club – Barclay Cup
- Upwey Ferntree Gully Baseball Club – Under 21 Women’s Invitational
Both clubs are eager to help support and grow grassroots baseball for women and girls, with dedicated volunteers ready to make these tournaments a big success while being played in Victoria for the first time.
The Barclay Cup will feature seven to ten teams of 13-to-16-year-old girls from across the country coming together to participate in an action-packed week at this beloved junior girls tournament, now in its fifth year.
The new women’s tournament will be open to 17–21-year-old women, offering participants the opportunity to play against peers from around the country and potentially internationally for the first time in Australia for this age group. This event will run from Sunday 27 September to Wednesday 30 September, alongside the first few days of the Barclay Cup, and we hope to have at least six teams in the invitational.
“Thank you to Springvale and Upwey Ferntree Gully Baseball Clubs for putting their hands up to host an awesome week of women’s baseball,” BV CEO Chet Gray said. “We are committed to growing the game and ensuring a strong women’s and girls pathway for females of all ages and levels. Hosting these events presents a fantastic opportunity to showcase women’s baseball and support the next generation of female baseballers chasing their dreams on the field.”
Stay tuned for more updates throughout the year.
The VSBL Premier League 1 Firsts Finals Round 4 game between Malvern and Newport was suspended on Tuesday night due to a lighting outage.
Given the unfortunate circumstances surrounding the suspension of play (as confirmed on match sheet and with the umpires) the game will be completed tonight (given this is the only true feasible option we have in fairness to whichever team wins through to tomorrow night's next final).
Completion of Game: Malvern v Newport - TONIGHT Wednesday 18 March @ 7:30pm
Venue: Surrey Park (same as last night)
Time: 7:30pm start (to allow umpires, anyone coming from work, etc. to get organised and get there)
Play to Resume: Top of 9th innings (at exact point play was suspended)
Please note, teams must remain the same, and the situation must pick up exactly where it left off.
While less than ideal, it is only fair on both teams competing, given the nature of the suspension, to complete the game.
Thank you to Murray Noble and Melbourne Baseball Club - an unfortunate situation, and we appreciate your efforts for the game and league in general.
Thanks everyone - and good luck (again!)

Baseball Victoria is excited to announce that Sparms has joined the BV Diamond Partnership Program at the Home Run level.
Sparms is Australia's leading choice in sun protection. Sparms Sun Protection Sleeves are great for baseballers, as they are cooling and certified UPF 50+, blocking out more than 99.8% of UVA and UVB radiation, all year round.
