🏉🔥 KOORI KNOCKOUT 2026 — THE COUNTDOWN IS ON! 🔥🏉
The stage is set for the 54th NSW Aboriginal Rugby League Koori Knockout, one of Australia’s biggest celebrations of rugby league, culture, community and First Nations pride.
📍 Kings Park Sporting Complex, Raymond Terrace
📅 2–5 October 2026
🌏 Worimi Country
After an unforgettable 2025 campaign, the Newcastle Yowies return with the honour of hosting the 2026 Knockout after claiming both the Men’s and Women’s titles last year. 🏆💙
But this year, the competition promises to be even bigger. Teams from across NSW will come together once again—not just to battle for trophies, but to represent their mob, families, communities and Country.
From fierce tackles on the field to powerful moments of culture and connection off it, the Koori Knockout is about much more than rugby league.
Pride. Culture. Family. Community. Resilience. 🖤💛❤️
Who will lift the trophy in 2026?
🏆 The road to Raymond Terrace starts now!

People see the colour of my skin and think they have the right to question my identity.
My culture isn’t measured by the shade of my skin. It’s carried in my family, my ancestors, my values, my community, and the way I choose to walk through life.
Every time someone tells me I can’t be a proud Blackfulla because I’m fair-skinned, they don’t weaken my connection—they strengthen it.
I’ll never apologise for who I am or where I come from.
I stand taller. I speak louder. I stay connected. And I’ll always be proud to be Aboriginal.
My identity isn’t yours to define.
