of the world. We have contested every Olympiad since 1968, our open team tying for 41st place (of 188) at the 2024 Olympiad in Budapest, while our women tied for 22nd (of 169) for their best ever result of 63.6%

Again this year Australia will be one of the expected 190 nations competing, fielding an open and a women's team (each five players plus captain) of our best available players.

...but there's a catch

...the Australian nemesis, the tyranny of distance - Australia is a long way from just about anywhere. While other national teams receive government support, our teams must meet their own travel costs. The average of the best return fares ex Sydney and ex Melbourne is $2044, a total of $24,534 for the two teams, each five players plus coach.

That's where you come in. The teams need your support to represent us.

Please give what you can to the appeal.
