Mō mātou | About Us

With the purpose of “Inspiring Kiwis to Love Badminton for Life”, Badminton has become one of the fastest growing sports in secondary schools. With more than 13,000 participants annually, it is the number one racquet sport for rangatahi aged 13–18.

Badminton New Zealand (BNZ) is the national body responsible for the promotion and development of badminton in Aotearoa New Zealand. With a proud nearly 100-year history, BNZ was established in 1927 and was a founding member of the International Badminton Federation (now the Badminton World Federation). BNZ belongs to the Oceania Confederation alongside Australia and many Pacific Island nations.

BNZ is in year one of a new five-year strategy with sound policies and governance practices in place, focused on building the capability and culture needed to deliver long-term outcomes for the sport.
