The Picklr announced of its expansion into Australia and New Zealand on Tuesday.

Through a Master Franchise Agreement with TPM Partners Pty Ltd, founded by Robert Pistilli, Anthony Liveris and Brett Clark, The Picklr will open 50 new clubs across the region — with 44 planned in Australia and 6 in New Zealand over the next several years.

The Picklr’s first Australian facility is set to open in Sydney, bringing the brand’s premium indoor pickleball experience to one of the world’s most dynamic cities.

All facilities will be modeled after The Picklr’s premium U.S. locations, combining modern aesthetics, world-class amenities, and community-driven programming under one roof.

 

“Australia and New Zealand have been on our radar since we began thinking about international expansion. Pickleball is no longer just a trend – it’s a global movement redefining how people connect through sport,” said Jorge Barragan, CEO of The Picklr. “Both Australia and New Zealand are rapidly growing their pickleball communities, with new clubs, courts, and players joining the game every day. These are markets that understand the power of sport to build connection and community. With TPM Partners leading the charge locally, we’re confident we can deliver the same premium Picklr experience that’s been fueling our momentum across North America.”

All clubs will feature The Picklr’s signature design, amenities, and programming.

Facilities will be developed in big box retail and warehouse-style spaces, ranging from 1,500 to 3,000 square meters, and strategically located near densely populated residential neighborhoods.

While the brand’s core offerings will mirror those of its North American counterparts, The Picklr Australia and The Picklr New Zealand will also integrate select local providers alongside existing U.S. partners to build facilities that serve the unique needs of each community.

The Picklr has also expanded into Japan and Canada, with more than 500 locations opening worldwide over the next few years.
