Women's International Down Under Series

International Women's Softball at its best!

Join us at Blacktown International Sportspark, NSW as the Australian Open Women's Squad take on the world's number one national team, Japan, and the New Zealand national women's team in the Women's International Down Under Series.

The series is a key part of the selection process for the Aussie Spirit as they prepare for the 2016 Women’s World Softball Championships in Canada this coming July.  Spectators will see two teams - Australia Gold and Green - providing 30 girls the opportunity to make the VIA Network Aussie Spirit Team when they take on the Japan Toyota Red Terriers in the Down Under Invitational Series from 19-21 February.

The tournament is a double round-robin format with each team playing 6 games, culminating in a championship round on Sunday afternoon.  All the action starts Friday 5 February at 2.30pm.

If you love softball this is a must see event.  Come out to Blacktown and cheer on our Aussie girls as they play the best in the world!

Tickets are available for a single day or the entire series.

This is a great opportunity to see the best women’s softball in Australia since the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games.

The International Down Under Series is part of Japan’s national team training camp from 1-11 February at Blacktown International Sportspark.  Players and coaches are invited to Blacktown to see the Japanese girls in their gruelling training regime.
