Entry information reviewed 23 September 2026. An unknown field is not an open invitation. Confirm it with the organiser before applying.
Organiser
New Zealand Mathematical Olympiad Committee (NZMOC).
Route
NZMO1 → invitation to NZMO2 → January training camp → further selection → IMO.
How to enter
Download the NZMO1 problems when released and submit the required solutions, rough work and contact details before the deadline. The organiser says advance registration is unnecessary. NZMO2 is invitational, and attending the January camp is required for team consideration. Use the annual calendar for dates: the general page’s usual timing does not consistently match 2026.

If your school does not take part
The NZMO1 instructions explain how students obtain and submit the paper. Ask NZMOC about the next submission window and your eligibility; school entry is not a reason to miss checking that route.
