Bowls clubs around Australia are gearing up to host BPL Cup Preliminary Rounds, providing local bowlers with an opportunity to play the fast-paced and dynamic format of the Bowls Premier League (BPL).

As the world’s biggest club-based bowls competition, the BPL Cup is a combination of Bowls Australia’s national participation initiative, Jack Attack, and the high-energy Bowls Premier League.

The BPL Cup was introduced to give club bowlers a taste of a new and exciting format played by the sport’s elite-level bowlers and it continues to grow in popularity with players and clubs alike.

Teams consist of three players and will include power plays, making for an engaging spectacle for both players and spectators.

Bowls clubs from across the country have embraced the opportunity to host these events, with the first series of events set to kick off this weekend (2 February 2025).

With the competition mirroring the action and excitement of the BPL, many clubs are seeing increased participation and renewed interest in the sport.

The BPL Cup is proving to be a major highlight on the Australian bowls calendar, appealing to both seasoned bowlers and newcomers.

More clubs are encouraged to register as hosts for Preliminary Rounds to help grow grassroots participation in the sport while allowing players to develop their skills in a competitive but fun and inclusive setting.

Winning teams from local club events progress to Regional Finals and then State Finals, with the ultimate goal being reaching the National Finals, which will be held at Club Pine Rivers (Brisbane, QLD) from 28 – 31 October 2025 alongside BPL22.
