We organise the Marlin Classic (Clubs New Zealand National Game Fishing Tournament) which is hosted by a member Club.

Would your club like to host a  tournament?

You must apply to Clubs New Zealand at least two years in advance. The closing date for applications is 60 days before the delegates' meeting at the current years tournament. The delegates' meeting is held during the tournament.

Your club will need to:

The host club is usually decided by majority vote at the delegates' meeting.
