2025 State Championship Recap

Queensland’s annual mega-month of tournaments wrapped up in disappointing style, with Mother Nature taking an overwhelming win.

Despite this, it was incredibly exciting to welcome the return of Sunshine Coast and North Queensland to multiple age groups! The 2025 Little League Invitational was the first competition in a number of years to feature teams from all 7 of Baseball Queensland’s regions!

Let’s review and have a look at which of our teams are expected to reach the National stage over the next 3 months!

We want to extend an incredibly large thank you to all of the staff and volunteers who contributed to the preparation, operation and clean-up. Two of our events were completely cancelled, but considerable time and effort still had to go into those events.

Further, our Tournament Staff are to be commended for doing their absolute best to get as many games on the field as possible.

Big League Championship

Unfortunately, our hosts, Ipswich Musketeers, were unable to execute on their preparation to host the 2025 Big League Championship. The rain continued all week and crisis meetings ended up with Baseball Queensland, Ipswich Musketeers and our participating regions calling the event off completely.

On Sunday, 6 April, the Ipswich Musketeers Baseball5 “Come and Try” event brought plenty of energy to the field, despite the Big League titles being cancelled the day before.

Players aged 6 to 16 jumped into learning the basics of Baseball5 before moving into games. For many, it was their first experience, but they picked it up quickly and played with great spirit.

Queensland Masters

Surfers Paradise and Robina Braves were waiting and ready, a few games started, the rain continued and worsened. City of Gold Coast closing sporting fields ended all attempts at returning to the diamond, despite a nice and sunny end to the weekend. A major shame but we look forward to seeing our Masters return to Surfers in April 2026.
