Former international cricketer Leah Poulton, who now leads Australia's high performance female program stressed the importance of this event.
"The Championships provide a platform for Australia's most exciting young talent to showcase their skills and perform against their peers," Poulton said.
"Only a few seasons ago players such as Tayla Vlaeminck and Sophie Molineux were representing their states at pathway level, now they're producing match winning performances for their country."
Tasmania's under-18 men are set to compete in Queensland next week.
