Tertiary sports tournaments
Our students compete in a range of university sports tournaments across New Zealand.
Our university takes part in the University & Tertiary Sport New Zealand Championship series, which sees New Zealand’s universities and tertiary institutions go head-to-head in national competitions.
Tournaments are held in a range of sports across the year. Trials are open to all Victoria University of Wellington students where we aim to select our top sportspeople and ensure our strongest teams are representing the University.
Points from each tournament accumulate toward an overall tally that decides the champion institution each year. Success at some tournaments can lead to international opportunities.
There are costs associated with travelling and competing in these events and these are communicated to players as soon as possible. Students and teams are encouraged to fundraise.
