The 2028 Control Line World Championships will be flown in July 2028 at Landres France.

The concept for selection is that we take the best performances from 2027 Nats to 2028 Nats inclusive. Therefore, the events listed are declared as trials.

Additional events can be added to these as long as they are registered with Kevin Barnes K.Barnes@xtra.co.nz, and they are published two months before the event.

  • Nats 2027

  • Australian National champs
  • Labour Weekend Champs 2027
  • Nats 2028
