Bridge Victoria

Friendly Rivalry, Great Bridge: NSW and Victoria collaborate to host top-level bridge online

The two largest bridge communities in Australia are coming together to offer a unique cross-border collaboration. By opening their flagship online events to one another, Bridge NSW and Bridge Victoria are creating a new opportunity for players seeking higher level competition.

Benefits to players

This new initiative creates the opportunity for players to compete against a larger field of competitors, including opposition you don’t normally encounter in state events.

Larger fields in Swiss and League events support for more accurate rankings and help match players against opponents of a similar skill level. The larger field also means more masterpoints for winners, which are graded at the state online championship level.

Players beyond NSW and Victoria are also welcome to play, providing they have an ABF number.

How it works

Victorian Online Pairs Championship (May 2026)

For the first time, Bridge Victoria is collaborating with Bridge NSW and opening its premier online pairs event to their players. This four-week round-robin tournament is the pinnacle of Victoria’s online pairs calendar.

Inviting additional pairs to join is expected to take the competition to the next level, offering four weeks of quality bridge, and we hope will encourage more player participation.

All pairs are eligible to win the event, with the official title awarded to the highest-placed Victorian pair.
