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.

2019-07-21	Horsham CC needs your support! Horsham Croquet Club, which has been going since 1924, is facing a challenge to their existence - a consultants' report to their local council has proposed that their club and the adjacent tennis club be demolished in favour of a new indoor sports stadium. Details are provided on the Horsham CC web page. Croquet Victoria has recently identified Horsham CC as a regional centre for croquet, and Horsham is hosting the AC Country Regionals next year, using its own courts and the tennis courts which are also under threat. If you have played at Horsham CC, or your club has been involved with them, you may wish to email them a message of support. Write to betty.etherton@bigpond.com with a copy to Croquet Vic - secretary@croquetvic.asn.au.     read more...

After the wild and wet weather endured by players and referees during last year's tournament, Saturday started with some early morning fog followed by a very pleasant day for croquet. Sunday was slightly chillier, but not a drop of rain in sight. Got to be happy with that. read more...
