Football NSW Championships

Event date: Tuesday, 07 July 2026 | 12:00 AM to Thursday, 09 July 2026 | 11:59 PM

Football NSW is proud to announce the launch of the Football NSW Association Championships, a brand-new annual youth football tournament set to kick off in July 2026 in Mudgee, NSW.

This exciting new competition will replace the former Association Youth League (AYL) and serve as a celebration of grassroots football and player development across the state.  The inaugural Championships will take place from Tuesday 7th to Thursday 9th July 2026 at the state-of-the-art Glen Willow Regional Sports Complex regarded as being one of NSW’s premier sporting venues.

Designed to showcase the strength of community football, each of Football NSW’s 31 Associations will have the opportunity to enter representative teams, giving young players the chance to compete against their peers from across the state. The tournament will feature Boys Under 13 & Under 14 and Girls Under 14 & Under 15. Player eligibility will be limited to grassroots or community club-registered players within their Association.

Throughout the tournament, Football NSW will deliver referee coaching, a coach workshop, and player talent identification to support the ongoing development of young footballers and officials. Our match officials will be sourced from local Branches. 

The 2026 Championships will be held from 7th to 9th July 2026 at Glen Willow Regional Sports Complex in Mudgee, NSW. The event is delivered by Football NSW in partnership with Mid-Western Regional Council
