KOORI KNOCKOUT 50 YEARS

The New South Wales Aboriginal Rugby League Knockout Carnival or Koori Knockout, held each year over the October long weekend, is the largest gathering of First Nations people in NSW and the largest First Nations sporting event in Australia. The 2019 Knockout drew more than 30,000 people. Of course, it is all about the footy, but it is also recognised as a significant social and cultural event for First Nations communities.
Beginning in 1971, it aimed at highlighting the talents of First Nations players for professional selection. There were just seven men's teams in the first Knockout, played at Camdenville Oval, St Peters. Today, the Knockout includes women's and junior teams. Its success is a tribute to the vision of the original founders.
The 2022 carnival in Nowra marked the long-awaited 50th anniversary of the Knockout.

Come on in to the Armidale Cultural Centre & Keeping Place and checkout the Exhibition.
