Welcome to Narromine

37th World Gliding Championships for Standard, 15m and Club Class are at the historic Narromine Airfield in NSW Australia.

The Standard Class, 15m Class and Club Class World Gliding Championships will be held at Narromine NSW Australia in November/December 2023, which makes timing more convenient for International teams to ship gliders to Narromine and fits in better with European holidays.

The soaring conditions in Narromine are excellent at that time of year.
