NSW Touch Football

Today we are celebrating all the fathers, caregivers, coaches, father figures and mentors.

We thank you for all your countless efforts showing up each day, supporting, guiding and inspiring. Happy Father's Day! 💙

The countdown to the 2026 NSW Touch Football State Cup is officially underway, with the Conditions of Entry now released.

State Cup returns to Port Macquarie from Friday 4 to Sunday 6 December, with three days of competition at the Regional Sporting Complex and Tuffins Lane Playing Fields.

One of the key changes for 2026 will see Masters teams in divisions 40s and above able to register up to 16 players, with all 16 able to participate in each game.

The change provides greater flexibility for Affiliates when putting Masters teams together, creates additional opportunities for players to take part and brings the State Cup format into closer alignment with national events.

𝐒𝐀𝐅𝐄𝐆𝐔𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐑𝐄𝐐𝐔𝐈𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐒
All relevant Team Management officials will be required to complete the Safeguarding Children and Young People in Sport Induction Course prior to State Cup.

The WWCC process has also been updated, with Affiliates responsible for maintaining their own verification register, while continuing to submit the required WWCC Protection Form to NSWTF.

With the 2026 Conditions of Entry now available, Affiliates can begin finalising their teams, officials and referees ahead of State Cup this December.
