The aim of the Championships Grant program is to support the hosting of national and international championship and sporting events in Tasmania, driving increased visitor numbers to the state by attracting high-profile competitions

The grant seeks to boost Tasmania's profile as a premier destination for sports tourism, generate economic benefits for local communities, and promote regional dispersal of visitors. The program also aims to foster community pride and engagement, while enhancing Tasmania's reputation as a host for competitive and high-calibre championship events.

Grants of up to $10,000 are available to organisers of eligible competitions, championship and sporting events that:

• Attract more than 100 people from outside Tasmania who stay three nights or more in paid commercial accommodation (hotel, motel, B&B, cabin).
• Promote pre- and post- championship travel as part of their event marketing.

Grant amounts are determined by the number of interstate or international visitors the championship or sporting event will attract, and when and where in Tasmania the championship or sporting event will be held.

Applicants must meet the following eligibility criteria:

• Be registered for tax purposes in Australia with a continuously active Australian Business Number (ABN) on or before 30 June 2025.
• Host a competition, championship, or sporting event that attracts more than 100 people from outside Tasmania, who stay a minimum of three nights or more in paid commercial accommodation*. 
• Promote pre- and post-championship travel as part of the event marketing.
