NSW Country Championships
The NSW Country Championships is the most prestigious country tennis event in the Tennis NSW calendar, with a history dating back to the 1920s. More than 30 perpetual trophies have been contested by past champions including Tony Roche, Mark Edmondson, Jason Stoltenberg, Evonne Goolagong Cawley, Jan O’Neill (née Lehane), and more recently Nathan Healey and Ashley Fisher.
Tennis Country positions the NSW Country Championships as a cornerstone selection benchmark for state and regional teams and squads, while also serving as a key platform to identify, support, and develop emerging country talent.
The event attracts over 800 participants and spectators each year and has historically rotated through major regional centres including Newcastle, Gosford, Tuggerah, Wollongong and Forster.
