Expressions of interest for selection to the 2026 EYOC, JWOC and WUOC teams are now closed.
Any questions, or notification of injury, illness or other issues that may reasonably impact training, competition or selection outcomes, should be directed to the Senior Selection Panel (senior.selection@orienteering.org.nz).
Senior Selection Panel: Tane Cambridge, Bill Edwards, Kieran Woods
There is a very tight turnaround between EYOC (25-27 June) and JWOC (29 June-4 July) this year.
While the competition dates themselves do not overlap, athletes selected for JWOC will be expected to attend the preparation and training period in the week leading into JWOC. This period overlaps with EYOC.
After discussion within the Selection Panel and with the Performance Leader, it has been agreed that athletes will not be selected for both teams. If an athlete is selected for JWOC, they will not also be selected for EYOC.
