Category:Paintball in Northland

Paintball in Northland is a collection of articles documenting the history and development of paintball throughout the Northland region of New Zealand.

The category covers recreational paintball, competitive teams, commercial playing fields, tournaments, clubs, businesses and individuals associated with Northland, from the early development of the sport through to the present.

Northland has played a role in New Zealand's competitive paintball history, particularly through tournaments held in Whangārei. The Northland Open was an established event on the national tournament calendar during the late 1990s and early 2000s, attracting teams from other regions and providing opportunities for local players to compete.

Articles document the teams, tournaments, venues, organisations and people who contributed to the development of paintball across Northland, including Whangārei and surrounding communities.

Many historical paintball activities in the region were organised by local players, field operators and volunteers, with limited formal documentation. As businesses closed, websites disappeared and older records were lost, parts of this history became increasingly difficult to trace.

WikiPaintball aims to preserve these stories through tournament results, historical publications, photographs, archived websites and personal recollections, recognising both established competitions and the smaller local communities that helped sustain the sport.
