The 2025 Trans-Tasman Challenge is being held in Cairns between the 10th to the 18th of May 2025.  Hockey New Zealand intends sending the following teams (assuming we have enough eligible players in each age group). 

Men's - 035's to 075's
Women's - 035's to 070's

We are calling for registrations of interest from players looking to be considered for New Zealand selection in their relevant age group.  As part of the registration process, a non-refundable registration fee of $25 will be payable. This fee will be used to help offset the administration and associated costs of independent selectors during the selection events.

Initial squads will be selected from those who have registered their interest, have attended one or more of the selection events (2024 or 2025 National Masters Tournament or the 2024 Masters World Cup) or received a dispensation. The final travelling teams will be confirmed at the conclusion of the National Masters Tournament in Whangarei which commences in late February 2025.

To register for selection, please click here to complete the EOI (Registrations close 20 January 2025)
