SUNNY BAY TOURNEYS

Each year, Hawkes Bay Water Polo proudly hosts the Sunny Bay Tournaments, an exciting series of competitions designed to bring together neighbouring clubs in preparation for the U16 and U14 national championships.

Held in the heart of sunny Hawke’s Bay, these tournaments provide a valuable opportunity for teams to gain game-time experience, test combinations, and build cohesion ahead of the national stage. With a focus on development, sportsmanship, and high-quality competition, the Sunny Bay Tournaments have become a much-anticipated fixture in the water polo calendar.

We welcome clubs from across the region to take part in a weekend of fast-paced action, supportive sideline energy, and a shared love of the sport. Whether you're chasing a title or sharpening your team’s edge, the Sunny Bay Tournaments offer the perfect environment to grow, compete, and connect.
