Welcome to MCC Croquet!
Croquet is a game of skill, strategy and good company, and at the MCC Croquet Section we enjoy all three. We’re an association croquet (AC) club, and our members range from complete beginners to experienced tournament players.
Whatever you're looking for from croquet, there's a place for you at MCC. Some of our members come for a relaxed game and good company on a Saturday, while others take their croquet very seriously, competing in club competitions, state and national tournaments, and beyond. Several MCC players were part of the Australian team at the 2026 MacRobertson Shield, the world team championship of association croquet. Whether you're picking up a mallet for the first time or aiming for the top, you'll feel at home here.
Come and play
The easiest way to give croquet a try is to join us for Saturday social play, 10am–3pm (please arrive by 9:45). All abilities are welcome, and coaching is available for players of every level, from your first game through to tournament play.
Get in touch with us at secretary@mcc-croquet.org.au and we'll help you get started.
About the game
Association croquet is played with four balls, blue and black against red and yellow. Each ball must run the twelve hoops in a set order and direction, then hit the centre peg. Running a hoop or hitting another ball earns extra strokes, so a skilled player can build a long 'break' in a single turn. The first side to score all 26 points (or the higher score when time is called) wins.
