ABOUT US
"Nationally, we are the voice of airsoft in New Zealand.
Locally, we are the clubs - for the players, by the players."
OUR STORY
Airsoft Sports New Zealand (ASNZ) is a non-profit organisation established in 2007, serving as the National Governing Body for Airsoft in New Zealand. Our mission is to support, promote, and develop Airsoft as a safe, structured, and community-driven sport across the country.
​
Our membership is made up of dedicated Airsoft clubs nationwide, all committed to fostering the growth of the sport by organising events, maintaining high standards of gameplay, and upholding a culture of fair play and sportsmanship. These clubs operate under a shared framework that ensures consistency in safety practices, game rules, and event management.
​
ASNZ is governed by its Management Committee, which consists of representatives from each member club. These officers play an active role in shaping the direction of Airsoft in New Zealand. The committee collaborates on key discussions surrounding safety protocols, equipment standards, rules of play, and the organisation of national-scale events, ensuring the sport remains well-regulated and enjoyable for all participants.
​
ASNZ plays a crucial role in advocating for Airsoft at both the community and government levels. We work closely with regulatory bodies, law enforcement, and policymakers to ensure Airsoft remains a safe and accessible sport. Our efforts focus on preserving the rights of Airsoft players, providing guidance on legislative matters, and promoting responsible participation within the wider sporting and firearms communities. By continuously engaging with authorities and stakeholders, we strive to secure the longevity of Airsoft in New Zealand and protect the interests of our members for future generations.
​
ASNZ Nationals is our Nationwide Airsoft event, bringing together teams from across the country to compete in a highly structured and competitive environment. This annual event serves as a platform for players to showcase their skills, engage in strategic gameplay, and foster camaraderie within the Airsoft community.
​
ASNZ Nationals is more than just a competition—it is a testament to the passion and dedication of the Airsoft community in New Zealand, highlighting the sport’s values of teamwork, respect, and continuous improvement.
