The 2026 Vera Houdek Summer Swiss Pairs was held at the TBA on Sunday 25 January. Somewhat unusually this was a matchpointed Swiss Pairs event. 18 pairs played six matches across two sessions.

The winners were Hilton Francis and Julie Rhodes. Second place went to Duncan Abercromby and Phil Timmins. Bal Krishnan and Maria Gibbs came third. Roger and Judith Hooley were the top placed Restricted pair. Full results are here.
