University Sport

Unisport Australia delivers a range of national sporting events that bring together talented student-athletes from universities across the country. At the center of this calendar is UniSport Nationals, the pinnacle of university sport in Australia, a vibrant week-long multi-sport festival that showcases athleticism, teamwork and student pride across dozens of disciplines. Beyond nationals, UniSport hosts a series of stand-alone national championships throughout the year in sports such as athletics, swimming, triathlon, cricket and more. These events provide additional opportunities for UNE students to compete at a high level, represent UNE and test themselves against the best student-athletes in the nation. Together, nationals and the broader championship pathway offer far more than competition. They foster a strong sense of camaraderie, cultural exchange and connection among students from across Australia, enriching the overall university experience and opening doors to development, leadership and lifelong memories.

SportUNE's student led sporting clubs are the heartbeat of our campus sporting community, giving students the chance to get involved in a wide range of sports while forming meaningful connections. These clubs create opportunities to build both soft and technical skills, strengthen teamwork, and enjoy the camaraderie that comes from playing and competing together. From outdoor adventuring to rugby union, netball and many more sports, students can immerse themselves in a supportive, welcoming environment that encourages participation at all levels, whether you are trying something new or pursuing high performance. Students can also take on leadership roles through club committees, gaining hands on experience in teamwork, communication, event coordination and governance, a valuable addition to any resume.

The MBPT program gives all UNE students the opportunity to get involved in the excitement of intercollege sport, with the annual trophy presented to the college (or colleges) that achieve the strongest results across the year. At its heart, MBPT is about celebrating college spirit and bringing the entire on-campus community together through friendly rivalry, teamwork and shared experiences. Across multiple high-energy, multi-sport events, students can enjoy a vibrant atmosphere filled with loud supporter sections, college pride, great music, and plenty of feel-good competition. It's fast paces, fun, and the perfect way to connect with your college, make memories, and get swept up in the unbeatable energy of MBPT.
