Entry Expression of Interest

Filling out the EOI is not confirmation of your entry, but an indication only. In early 2025 we will formally open entries, with priority going to schools that have filled out the EOI. Fees will not be due until formal entries close and teams are accepted.

Schools who do not fill out the EOI may not be able to enter the competition, if a division is fully subscribed.

Friendly Manager

NZWP will be fully integrating these competitions to Friendly Manager, our member management and competition system. Based on the information provided in the EOI form, we will build your school and login in this system.

From 2025, team entries and player lists, will be submitted via Friendly Manager.
