European Club League Hosts Wanted

1st October (Other News)

2025 will see the European Club League enter its 3rd season and we are currently looking for hosts for the Qualifying Heats. A heat comprises 4 teams (the host + 3 others) of 4 players and takes place over a weekend during March-July. Each team plays a match against the other three teams over the course of the weekend. The allocation of teams to each heat is designed to ensure that the teams in each heat are from different countries throughout Europe, so if your club is interested in playing against clubs from overseas hosting a heat is an opportunity to do so. To host a Qualifying Heat you require a minimum of two full size courts.

Teams of various strength take part and the winning team from each heat progresses to the Grand Final, which will be held at Sussex County Croquet Club (England) on October 10-12th 2025. Various details of the 2024 event, including the rules (which are expected to remain largely unchanged for 2025) can be found here:
