Australian National Broomball Championships
# Australian National Broomball Championships

The Australian National Broomball Championships is an annual broomball tournament, held in various cities across Australia, to determine Australia's national champions. The tournament is organized by the national governing body for the sport, Broomball Australia.

The Championships have been held annually since 1990, and attracts representative teams from New South Wales, Queensland, Australian Capital Territory, South Australia, and Victoria. Teams representing Gold Coast and Coffs Harbour have also participated in the past. In 2003 an invitational team composed of American and Japanese players took part but were ineligible for finals.

The 2022 Broomball Championships was held from April 21 - April 24 at Penrith Ice Palace, including both Men's and Women's competitions.

## Divisions

Five divisions are contested annually (starting year in brackets): Men's Elite (1990), Women's Elite (1999), Mixed Elite (1990), Men's Intermediate (2003), and Mixed Intermediate (2003).

## Men's Elite division
