NSW Touch Football (NSWTF) is pleased to announce the Final Gradings for the 2026 Vawdon Cup, celebrating the 50th year of the competition.
The Final Gradings process considered all appeals lodged by Affiliates following the release of the Preliminary Gradings, as well as changes to team nominations, including withdrawals received during the appeal period.
These changes were considered collectively to ensure the Final Gradings and associated competition structures remain appropriate for the final composition of each division.
The 2026 Vawdon Cup will feature 126 teams competing across 15 divisions, reflecting the continued growth and strength of the competition.
The grading process has focused on providing appropriate competitive opportunities, strengthening participant pathways and ensuring the Vawdon Cup continues to deliver a meaningful experience for Affiliates and participants.
In determining the final competition structures, NSWTF has considered both the continued growth of the competition and changes to the final team composition of each division. Competition formats have therefore been structured to support sustainable growth, effective fixturing, appropriate levels of competition and a high-quality participant experience.
NSWTF thanks all Affiliates for their engagement throughout the grading process and looks forward to delivering another successful Vawdon Cup in this milestone 50th year of the competition.
