The final day of the national championships will be played at Warrnambool Stadium.

Victoria is expected to win and claim the Jack Gore trophy. The home state has dominated the championships over the years, winning 12 of the last 13 titles. There is plenty of local interest in the event with over half of the Victorian team hailing from the south-west. This representation includes players from the Warrnambool, Colac and Heytesbury associations. Tasmania, New South Wales, South Australia and Queensland have sent teams to the championships with over 350 players competing.
