Dates for rep footy in 2026 locked in

DATES for both the junior and senior representative teams for 2026 have been finalised.

The Northern NSW Championship for junior players is being held in Coffs Harbour during the second week of the July school holidays.

Matches will be played across three days from Wednesday, July 15 to Friday, July 17.

This year saw the North West field an Under 13 Boys team for the first time since before COVID with our region’s young players gaining lots of valuable experience testing themselves against the better players from other regions.

The men’s and women’s Blue Heelers teams will be playing at Coffs Harbour’s C.ex Coffs International Stadium on Saturday, July 18 to create a fourth straight day what will be a real carnival of representative football.

The North Coast teams are looking forward to hosting in 2026 while the Central West players have indicated they’re excited to travel to Coffs Harbour and with hopes high that the Eagles will also be fielding a men’s team in 2026 to give the men a chance to play in a tri-series like the women did in Gunnedah in June.

The Central West is slated to host the men’s and women’s matches in 2027.
