We have the honour of inviting you to the NZ Cup for 2022. This competition is Karate New Zealand’s first national Karate event for 2022 and will be hosted in Hamilton. Participation in this event is open to all New Zealand Karate-ka.

The competition is for Premier, Intermediate or Development competitors aged 5 years and older for Kata, and 6 years and older for Kumite.

Date:           Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th March 2022

Venue:        Hamilton Boys’ High School Gymnasium, Peachgrove Road, Hamilton 3216

Please Note: This event will only go ahead if New Zealand is at a safe Covid-19 Level in the Traffic Light System - we will liaise with SportNZ around guidelines for hosting a sports event.
We may need to band year groups together depending on the number of entries, e.g. cadet male and female athletes, to make this event happen. They will be the only age group in the venue at this time. The Cadets do Kata, Kumite, then exit via a different door before the next group, 12-13-Year-Olds, enter through the main entrance. If one age group is too large, we may separate males from the females (split the age group). The first preference for entrance in the venue are referees, event staff, coaches, and athletes. Spectators may not be allowed entry unless they assist with the event with that age group so we don't exceed 100 people.
