National Championships
Prior to 1963 the New Zealand Billiards and Snooker Championships were restricted to two representatives from each affiliated association. In 1963 the system of sections and post section play was introduced and 32 players were accommodated in each event. In 1964 twenty competitors took part in the national championships and the winner and runner-up represented New Zealand at the World Amateur Billiards Championship.
The following are the New Zealand amateur billiards and snooker champions since the inception of their respective competitions.
