The NSW High School Championships is a state level team tennis event delivered by Tennis NSW. It’s open to schools from all school sport associations (CHS, CSNSW and CIS) with teams competing in two divisions (boys and girls) for a direct pathway through to the National High School Championships (Gallipoli Youth Cup) which is delivered by Tennis Australia.

The NSW High School Championship winning boys team and winning girls team will gain automatic acceptance into the National High School Championships (Gallipoli Youth Cup). Teams who do not win the NSW event can apply for a wildcard into the Gallipoli Youth Cup (only if they have participated in the NSW High School Championships). Wildcard applications into the Gallipoli Youth Cup are not guaranteed.

Our vision for the NSW High School Championships is to establish a clear state level pathway that recognises our NSW State Champion school teams each year.
