QLD 1 won the gold medal by defeating WA Gold 2–1 in the final. QLD 2 won the bronze medal by defeating WA Black 3–2 in the third and fourth place playoff.[1]
The tournament is divided into three pools, Pool A, Pool B and Pool C, consisting of four teams each, competing in a round-robin format.
At the conclusion of the pool stage, all four teams from Pool A, and the top two ranked teams from Pool B and Pool C advance to the medal round, while bottom ranked teams from Pool B and Pool C progress to the non medal round.
In Pools D, E and F, teams once again play in a round-robin format to determine playoff matches. The top two teams in Pool D and Pool E progress to the semi-finals, while the bottom two advance to the fifth to eighth place classification. At the conclusion of Pool F, teams play in crossover matches to determine classification matches.
Unlike other National Australian Championships, teams from New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria and Western Australia are eligible to enter two teams.
