New Zealand Squash ChampionshipsThe New Zealand Senior National Individual Championships are contested annually, and represent the pinnacle of national competition for New Zealand players.

The event is rich in heritage and history - the honours roll is a genuine who's who of New Zealand Squash. |

The MC Day Cup (Men) and the KA Mackwell Cup (Women) are fiercely contested by teams of four players from each district. This is another event that is rich with heritage and parochial pride. |
