WHO WE ARE

ABOUT US

Auckland Badminton Association is a not for profit organisation that governs the sport of badminton within the Auckland region from Portage Road in the west through to Te Irirangi Drive in the south and everything in between. Intrusted in developing the game and enhancing our athletes, we have 24 clubs affiliated to us catering for juniors and seniors, as well as the healthy midweek participants, making us the largest Association affiliated to Badminton New Zealand.


The Auckland Badminton Hall is located at 99 Gillies Ave, Epsom, and has 12 courts available that are utilised for the hosting of local, national, and international events as well as coaching academies, holiday programs, and casual hire. Within our facility we also have available a café and bar and a fabulous Pro Shop that stocks a range of badminton specific products from major brands and provides a restringing service.  ​​​​​​​
