Pickleball Cup Crosses the Border to Tweed Heads on 16-17 May 2026

Join the excitement at the third stop of the Voyager Tennis Pickleball Cup series in Tweed Heads on 16–17 May 2026. Hosted by Voyager Tennis, this two-day tournament welcomes players of all skill levels from across the region for competitive play and fun.

The Pickleball Cup series has made its way through Sydney’s north and the Central Coast. Now it heads to the border and the Tweed Heads community is ready for it.

The tournament will be held at Arkinstall Park Regional Tennis Centre, Cunningham Street, Tweed Heads NSW 2486, a venue well known to the border region’s active sporting community. It marks the first time the Pickleball Cup has ever visited Tweed Heads, and it brings with it DUPR-rated competition that has already energised players in Willoughby and Gosford earlier in the series.

What’s on across the weekend

The tournament runs across two days with a full programme of DUPR-rated doubles competition. Each event is split into three skill brackets which are DUPR 2.99 & under, 3.0–3.49, and 3.5 and above so players compete against others at a closely matched level throughout.

Players can enter a maximum of two events across different categories (Example: Women’s or Men’s Doubles on Saturday and Mixed Doubles on Sunday). Every player is guaranteed a minimum of three games per event regardless of results.
