For more than four decades, the Australian Teams Championships has helped shape the next generation of Australian tennis stars.

Now in its 43rd year, the prestigious national event enters an exciting new chapter, featuring a revamped format creating more opportunities than ever before for emerging players and coaches.

More than 200 players will represent their state or territory at KDV Sport on the Gold Coast from Monday 22 June to Saturday 4 July, competing for national titles across the 11/u, 13/u and 15/u age groups.

First held in 1983, the Australian Teams Championships has played a pivotal role in developing Australia's next generation of tennis stars for more than four decades. 

The event has provided a launching pad for some of the country's greatest players, including Ash Barty and current stars Talia Gibson, Kimberly Birrell, Nick Kyrgios and Thanasi Kokkinakis, who all proudly represented their states during their junior careers. 

The 2026 Australian Teams Championships forms part of the De Minaur Junior Tour, which features more than 250 tournaments across Australia and plays a vital role in developing the next generation of Australian tennis stars.
