The 2027 World Archery Para Championships will be held at the Gold Coast Performance Centre, south of Brisbane, in Queensland (Australia) from 30 August to 6 September 2027.
Previously awarded to Canberra, the championships will move to the Gold Coast following a successful bid by Archery Australia and the Queensland Government.
Around 300 athletes from 50 countries will compete across recurve, compound, W1, and visually impaired events. The event is expected to form an important part of the qualification pathway towards the LA28 Paralympic Games.
The championships mark Australia’s first major international para archery event, and act as an important milestone as Brisbane prepares to host the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2032.
World Archery President Greg Easton welcomed the new host city.
“We are excited to be bringing the World Archery Para Championships to the Gold Coast. Queensland has the experience and ambition to deliver an outstanding event, showcase our sport to new audiences, and build momentum towards LA28 and Brisbane 2032.”
