The round robin tournament, open to Tennis Victoria country regions and metropolitan associations, will this year see 15 Tennis Victoria regions and associations with 60 players participating.

Each round will consist of four singles matches and two mixed doubles matches played across two days of competition.

Following the round robin on Saturday, the final and playoffs will be played on Sunday.
