Touch Football WA (TFWA) Country Championships
29 – 31 May
Hosted by Exmouth Touch Association, the triennial TFWA Country Championships return in 2026, incorporating the North West Touch Carnival held in the other years.
Last staged in 2023, the event will feature junior competition for under-14s as well as a Senior Mixed division, alongside non-competitive development games for under-10s, supporting participation across further age groups.
The 2026 event also carries added significance for the local community, with Exmouth recently impacted by severe cyclone damage. The Country Championships aims to support the town’s recovery, bringing teams, families, and supporters to the region following a period of reduced tourism during what is typically a peak season.
