Major Tournaments
Karate Queensland conducts three major tournaments each year:
Queensland Cup: a one-day tournament.
Queensland State Titles: a one-day tournament, from which the State representative team is selected.
Queensland Open: a one-day tournament held on 31 May 2025 at Paul Bancroft Sports Centre at Cleveland State High School.
We also support regional and association-run events across Queensland.
Also of Interest: The Oceania Championships in Nouméa are scheduled around the same time. While registration for that event is not managed by Karate Queensland, you can learn more about it here.
