We are the State Sporting Association responsible for croquet across Victoria and Southern New South Wales.
Established on 18 June 1914 as the Victorian Croquet Association Inc., we trade as Croquet Victoria.
Under our current rules, we lead and develop croquet in Victoria by coordinating and supporting Association Croquet, Golf Croquet, Ricochet and Gateball, played in 89 clubs across 13 regional associations.
We are committed to ensuring that children who participate in our activities have a safe and happy experience.

2019-10-20  | Victorian Divisional AC Championships
The Divisional AC Championships were held at Cairnlea amid the opening ceremony of the new Buddhist Temple. The celebrations, singing and fireworks provided a different background to our usual peace and quiet. (I can highly recommend a visit to the temple – it is a great addition to the area!)

Originally the numbers were okay but illness and a sudden trip interstate for a funeral took the edge off the sections. read more... | 2019-10-14  | Excellent play in ACA President’s Eights – Association Croquet
This very prestigious event was held at Cairnlea from Friday 11 to Monday 14 October.
In the original format there were three blocks of the top ranked players in Australia. The players were arranged into three levels based on their world-wide grading. Later a separate Women’s Eight was introduced to encourage women to enter ACA elite events. read more... | 2019-10-04  | Australian 2019 Golf Croquet Handicap Doubles and Singles Championships
This year these Championships were hosted at the Albury Tennis Association tennis courts, 365 Townsend Street, South Albury NSW 2640. Located adjacent to the home of the Flying Fruit Fly Circus these tennis courts are also the home of the Twin City Croquet Club Inc. Ideally located in proximity to motels and eateries and major traffic routes, the venue was able to offer three courts for the Doubles and eight courts for the Singles over the six days from Sunday 29 September to Friday 4 October 2019.
Some of the Doubles entries took advantage of the opportunity to familarise themselves with the venue, register and get in some practice on the Sunday afternoon before a BBQ at 5 pm. read more... | 2019-09-27  | Hoop made - the opening of the Belvedere Heritage Croquet Club
