NSW Touch Football (NSWTF) is pleased to announce the Preliminary Gradings for the 2026 Vawdon Cup – celebrating the 50th year of the competition.
The 2026 Vawdon Cup has experienced significant growth, with an increase of 15 teams from 2025. This growth has strengthened the depth and quality of the competition and provides an opportunity for NSWTF to ensure the divisional structures continue to meet the evolving needs of the competition and our Touch Football community.
As outlined through previous Vawdon Cup correspondence, NSWTF remains committed to delivering a competition structure that is competitive, balanced and practical, while considering competition quality, fairness and the overall participant experience. With increased team nominations in 2026, adjustments have therefore been made across selected divisions to ensure the competition remains fit for purpose and provides appropriate levels of competition for participating teams.
