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.
-
December 2026 season
The league season: turf T20 across the three franchises, around 150 players, in the December window.
-
Melbourne tournaments
A T20 tournament each December and again from March, played on turf with appointed officials, scoring and statistics.
-
JT20 & junior competitions
The league’s junior arm, running under the VECL brand through the season, alongside the winter indoor competition.
-
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 register for the season rather than with a franchise, and squads are picked from everyone who registers. Registration and payment run through our booking app — this website explains the competition and hands you over.
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.
December 2026 season
Team selection is open to everyone who registers.
Match days are 24, 27, 28, 29 and 30 December 2026. The registration fee is $20; venues are published as soon as they are set.
