Baseball Victoria is excited to announce that Victoria will host the 2026 Barclay Cup from Sunday 27 September to Saturday 3 October.
With seven to ten teams of 13-to-16-year-old girls from across the country coming together to participate in an action-packed week, there’s a great opportunity for a club to host this beloved junior girls tournament for the first time in Victoria.
Additionally, Baseball Victoria will introduce a new tournament which will be played at the same time: the Under 21 Women’s Invitational.
Open to 17–21-year-old women, participants will have the opportunity to play against peers from around the country and potentially internationally for the first time in Australia for this age group.
Event details are still being finalised; however, BV is seeking a club to partner with us to bring this competition to life from Sunday 27 September to Wednesday 30 September 2026 (alongside the first few days of the Barclay Cup). We hope to have at least six teams in the invitational.
“We look forward to clubs and organisations submitting their interest in hosting one or both of these events,” 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.”
