New Zealand and Australia used to get together on Norfolk Island for friendly Scrabble competition. Later there was the ongoing Trans Tasman competition which in 2026 is in Brisbane.
2026 saw the inaugural tournament of what will become an ongoing tradition. 2026 was the turn for New Zealand to host it and 11½ Australian players took part and were very appreciative of the hospitable and welcoming NZ Scrabble community. The event was won by Howard Warner who is well known here in Australia. Adam Kretschmer was Australia's top placed player, coming third.
Play from a featured table most rounds were streamed on the Scrabble NZ YouTube Channel and the event was WESPA rated.
