Welcome to Auckland Sword & Shield’s Summer Tournament, we really hope you can join us!

Our Summer Tournament will consist of two competitions:

Steel Longsword and Steel Sabre

And we’re planning some extra fun for the end of the day :)

Tournament Entry

The tournament is open to members of all HEMA, WMA, Historic Fencing, or re-enactment club or society in New Zealand or overseas. Entrants must be 18 years of age or older. The tournament is not open to members of the public although they are welcome to come along and spectate.

Competitors may enter one or both competitions.

The price to enter is $10 and will secure your place in the competitions. We do have to limit the number of competitors in each competition and they will be determined on a first come first serve basis.

Sign up ends on 11:59PM Wednesday, February 24th and we will not be accepting entrants after the cut-off period.

Auckland Sword and Shield may contact the relevant clubs to ensure entrants are indeed members and have the necessary references to enter the tournament. The Head Judge has the ultimate right of refusal of entry.

Gear Requirements & Rule Sets

Will be emailed to all competitors and also added to our website by 31/1/21.

Accommodation

For our out of town visitors who are looking for somewhere to stay we are recommending Verandahs Parkside Lodge ( www.verandahs.co.nz ) located in Ponsonby, Auckland. It’s a lovely and quiet family owned accommodation that has nice rooms and share rooms available at a good price. It’s a 15 minute drive away from the venue and located close to lots of nice cafes and restaurants in Central Auckland.
