The FIE have recently authorised a mask design for New Zealand.

Due to the continuing Covid19 situation in Auckland, the New Zealand Fencing Championships due to take place in Auckland 23^rd to 25^th October has been cancelled.

Fencing NZ are currently working on a Calendar for 2022, with additional events to be scheduled early in the year.

Fencing clubs throughout New Zealand are reminded to operate within the Ministry of Health and Sport NZ guidelines for each Covid19 Level.

Auckland clubs will remain closed while in Level 4 and Level 3.

The rest of NZ is in a revised Level 2 – we are waiting for guidelines from Sport NZ on how clubs and sport will operate under these revised restrictions. More information should be available shortly on the following page: https://sportnz.org.nz/covid-19-response/alert-level-information/

The Commonwealth Fencing Championships 2022 is scheduled to take place in August 2022 in London. This will be a huge tournament - combining the Open, Veteran and Junior and Cadet Commonwealth Championships.

Given the travel restrictions in place due to the COVID19 pandemic, the Oceania Fencing Confederation have made the decision to cancel the 2021 Oceania Championships. Fencing NZ will make a decision regarding the New Zealand Championships, which are scheduled to take place at Labour weekend (23rd to 25th October), on the 28th September.

National competitions will only be held if the host region is in Level 1.
