2026 Nationally Ranked Event Schedule Released

By Tenpin Bowling Australia
December 19, 2025

Tenpin Bowling Australia (TBA) is pleased to release the provisional 2026 Nationally Ranked Event Schedule, outlining another exciting year of high-level competition across the country.

The Nationally Ranked Event calendar features many of Australia’s premier tenpin bowling tournaments, spanning Junior, Youth, Women’s, Open, Senior and Inclusion divisions. Each event provides bowlers with the opportunity to compete under demanding conditions, earn national ranking points, and measure themselves against the best in their division.

All TBA registered members are eligible to enter ranked events relevant to their division, with each tournament contributing toward national rankings and title outcomes across the 2026 season.

2025 Rankings have been sent out to ranked event bowlers this year to provide a provisional window for feedback before we announce the winners formally in January 2026.

What does provisional mean?

While the majority of events for 2026 are now confirmed, some events are still being finalised, with venues and/or dates to be confirmed early in the new year. These events are clearly marked in the schedule as TBD.

As details are locked in, a dedicated event page will be created that will house entry forms and full event information added as received.
