Australian Masters Cup - Club Information


The Australian Masters Cup (AMC) will provide a national pathway for players aged 50+; however, our focus and attention is placed on the players participating at club level to ensure inclusion, social engagement and pickleball spirit is front and centre.

It's important that as clubs we are promoting inclusion among all members and harnessing the desire by many players to compete at tournament level.

That's why the Australian Masters Cup is an important innovation by PAA, as a direct response to feedback from players nationwide that they seek opportunities to further engage with the game at a competitive level.
