Team Wellington North

Last updated: 08/03/2026

Wellington North Badminton actively participate in the Badminton New Zealand Inter-Association (IA) competitions. The IA competitions provide opportunities to players across a wide range of ability and different age group to experience competitive badminton in a team environment. The regional competition provides an entry point to experienced club players, where the national division 1 competition is catered for our elite and high performance players.

Each year, Wellington North Badminton puts out an invitation to all interested players to become a member of Team WN. The selection process generally involve (but not limited to) observation of player's technical skill and competency, on court attributes and commitments showcased on trial day.
