Pride Cup Week 2026

Hockey Tasmania is proud to celebrate diversity, inclusion and belonging across our sport, with Pride Cup Week commencing today and running statewide from 22–28 June 2026 as part of Pride Month.

Following the success of Hockey Tasmania's inaugural Pride Cup in 2025, clubs from across the state are once again coming together to demonstrate their commitment to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for everyone involved in hockey.

Last year's competition marked the beginning of an important conversation around Pride in Sport within our community. Clubs celebrated inclusion throughout the week, with the Pride Cup awarded using an aggregate points system. The club achieving the highest average score across the week was crowned the inaugural Pride Cup champion.

The format remains largely unchanged this year, with the Pride Cup determined by each club’s average points per game across all matches from Under 12s through to Senior competitions.

This year, however, there is an additional incentive for clubs to visibly show their support for Pride Cup. Teams that wear Pride colours in some form during their match, whether through ribbons, socks, laces or other Pride-themed attire will earn a bonus point to their weekend's points tally.

That means:
• A win while wearing Pride colours earns 4 points (instead of 3).
• A draw while wearing Pride colours earns 2 points (instead of 1).
• A loss while wearing Pride colours earns 1 point (instead of 0).

The bonus point recognises and rewards clubs that actively embrace and promote the spirit of Pride Cup, both on and off the field.

Throughout the week, clubs, players, officials, volunteers and supporters are encouraged to celebrate inclusion and help create environments where everyone feels welcome, valued and respected.

By welcoming, respecting and celebrating our differences, we build stronger teams, stronger clubs and a stronger game. Hockey Tasmania looks forward to seeing the hockey community unite throughout Pride Cup Week and demonstrate that hockey truly is a sport for everyone.
