Competing in Australia

Entry to Australian National Tournaments is open to all fencers of the world.  International fencers must be a current member of their national federation which must be in good standing with the FIE. And any fencer under the age of 20 is required to provide proof of their Date of Birth.  

Confirmation of current membership of their National Federation, and, if they are under 20 years of age, confirmation of their Date of Birth, will need to be provided and confirmed before they will be able to enter any National Events.

Teams competing at Australian events are representatives of their respective countries, not of individual clubs within that country.

Fencers should note the equipment requirements for Australian national events which may be different than those of other countries.

If a competitor requires a formal letter of invitation (as a result of their country's residency, passport or visa conditions), this should be requested at least six weeks prior to the relevant event, by email to  [email protected].

Registering as an international fencer to compete in national tournaments
