What is UniSport Nationals?
The UniSport Nationals Div 1 & Div 2 is Australia’s largest annual multi-sport event, taking place 7-13 September 2024, in Canberra. We will be sending a team of Griffith University students to compete against 43 other universities to compete in men's, women's, mixed and open categories (dependent on the sport) which will see over 50 competitions held during the seven-day event at venues across Canberra.
Individuals and teams competing in Nationals Div 1 are all contending for the overall championship titles in their chosen sport and are trying to avoid relegation to Div 2! Individuals and teams competing in Div 2 have the hope of winning their sport/division to be promoted to Div 1 the following year.
We will assist you in all aspects of the lead-up and throughout the competition, including registration, trials, training, uniforms, merchandise, team bonding events, and more.
The sports Griffith University are eligible to compete in (based on previous years results) are listed below. In team sports, we are only able to send one team, per sport, per division. Therefore, there will be trials held early to help us select our team. You can trial for multiple sports, however, in most instances, you will only be able to Represent Griffith in one sport. For individual sports, you will need to adhere to the UniSport Australia eligibility requirements such as qualifying times for that specific sports event. If your sport isn't listed below refer to the Standalone Events page as your sport may occur at a different time of year.
Please note – Selection in the Griffith squad is not confirmed until the first payment is made. Griffith Sport reserves the right to withdraw any selected students who do not make their payments by the advertised deadlines.

Become a Griffith Team Leader
Each sport that competes at the 2024 Nationals (Div 1 and Div 2) is required to have a Griffith Team Leader (GTL) to assist in the coordination and management of their team. In most cases, a Brisbane and Gold Coast GTL will be appointed to each sport. There are a number of benefits associated with our leadership program and it is a great way to get involved!
