What is UniSport Nationals?
The UniSport Nationals Div 1 & Div 2 is Australia’s largest annual multi-sport event, taking place 27 September - 3 October 2025 on the Gold Coast. Griffith University will enter a squad of current Griffith students to compete against 43 other universities to contest a wide range of sports within men's, women's, mixed and open categories (sport dependent). Culminating in over 50 competitions being held across seven massive days of sporting competition.
University Team Managers (UTM's) and Griffith Team Leaders (GTL's) from Griffith 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.
Depending on the size and scope of competition there are times when Griffith may only be allowed to nominate one team per sport. In the event there is interest for multiple teams UTM's will work with UniSport to try and secure multiple nominations. Therefore it is more than likely you will be required to trial for your chosen sport. If trial dates are set you must attend a nominated trial to be considered for selection. 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 – A students place in the Griffith squad is not confirmed until they have been selected by their sports GTL, the selection has been approved by a UTM and the players first payment is made. Griffith Sport reserves the right to withdraw any selected students who do not make their payments by the advertised deadlines.
