What the league runs

Turf T20 competition in Melbourne across three franchises, a junior arm in JT20, and the High Performance International Pathway (HPIP) sitting above all of it.

A VECL match under way on turf: the batter at the crease, the wicketkeeper up behind the stumps, and the league marquee at the boundary.
  1. JT20 December 2026

    Turf T20 these Christmas holidays: five matches plus finals across the three franchises, 24 and 27–30 December.

  4. Girls & women

    The league and the pathway are open to girls and to senior women — not as an afterthought, and not as a single phrase on a page.

How the season works

Register once, then team selection.

Players join the competition rather than a franchise. For JT20 December 2026, returning players confirm their place and new players book a try-out, then squads are picked across the three franchises. Registration and payment happen on this website, with no login.

The High Performance International Pathway is a separate programme with its own try-out. A player can do the season, the pathway, or both; the registration chooser sets out which is which before you fill anything in.

JT20 December 2026

Returning players confirm. New players try out.

Match days are 24, 27, 28, 29 and 30 December 2026. Try-outs Monday 7 and Monday 14 December, $20.
