'''2020 NXL Australia Victoria Round 1''' was a [[NXL Australia]] paintball tournament advertised for 14–15 March 2020 at [[Paintball Games Coldstream]] in Victoria, Australia. Contemporary photography and a Melbourne Mutiny result report confirm that competition took place. Melbourne Mutiny finished second, but complete divisional standings have not been established.[1][2][3]

== Dates and venue ==
PBLeagues listed the tournament for Saturday, 14 March, to Sunday, 15 March 2020 at Paintball Games Coldstream, 3–5 Maxwells Road, Coldstream, Victoria. The league's official events calendar advertised the same dates and venue.[1][4]

Birch Photography published a Division 2 preview on 14 March 2020. Jackson Chandler subsequently published a report identifying Melbourne Mutiny's second-place finish at “NXL VIC R1”, with Coldstream identified as the location.[2][3]
