About the National Club Championships (Open)
The National Club Championships (Open) is India Ultimate's flagship annual championship for open-division club teams, contested by the top-ranked squads from the National Ranking Series.
All club teams affiliated with a state association are eligible to qualify through the Ranking Series legs held earlier in the season, with the highest-ranked teams securing direct berths to the Championships.
The qualified teams are divided into groups for the Group Stage, played in a round-robin format. The top teams from each group advance to the Final Round, which is played as a single combined standings pool before the semi-finals and final.
Whistling Woods are the most recent champions of the National Club Championships (Open), beating Highland Hurl in the 2026 final.
