The 2025 NSW High School Championship is an inaugural event that will now be the direct pathway through to the Gallipoli Youth Cup (National High School Championships) that is delivered by Tennis NSW. The event will offer participating schools from each school sport association (CHS, CSNSW and CIS) the opportunity to compete at a state championship event and earn entry into the Gallipoli Youth Cup (GYC) where they will compete against the best schools from around Australia. Our vision for this event is to establish a clear state level pathway that recognizes our NSW State Champion teams each year.

Event Information

Qualification

Schools qualify for this event as follows:

• Winning boys and girls team from CIS*
• Winning boys and girls team from CSNSW
• Top two boys and girls teams from CHS
• 4 x wildcard applications will be approved based on the team’s average UTR rating. NB: Wildcard applications must have competed in their relevant school sport association pathway.

*this year (2025) there is no CIS playoff so the 1 x CIS position will be offered as an additional wildcard position that is only available to a school affiliated with CIS.

Gallipoli Youth Cup (National High School Championship)

The winners of the NSW High School Championship will gain automatic acceptance into the 2025 Gallipoli Youth Cup (1 boys and 1 girls team). Teams who do not win the NSW event can apply for a wildcard into the Gallipoli Youth Cup (only if they have participated in the NSW High School Championship). Wildcard applications into Gallipoli Youth Cup are not guaranteed.
