2017 WSF World Junior Championships

28 years after staging the third edition of the biennial event in 1989, New Zealand will host the 17th WSF Women's World Junior Team Squash Championship in Tauranga in July next year. The 2017 World Squash Federation event, which will also feature the Men's & Women's World Junior Individual Championships, will take place at Devoy Squash & Fitness Centre in Tauranga, the fifth largest city in New Zealand, from 19-28 July. "It is with great pleasure that Squash New Zealand will once again host another major international squash event in the city of Tauranga," said Squash NZ CEO Jim O'Grady. "Attracting the very best athletes from around the world, the World Junior Championships will create huge opportunities to market and promote Tauranga to a worldwide audience and at the same time boost the profile of squash in New Zealand and the Oceania region."
