About Us

The University of Sydney is Australia's premier university and we pride ourselves on being the most successful sporting club in terms of national representatives and major competitions won in the Southern Hemisphere. For example, Sydney Uni has produced 115 Olympians and 103 Wallabies.

All sport, whether at the élite or inter-faculty level, is managed by the professional staff at Sydney Uni Sport & Fitness. They are assisted by a team of specialist coaches, administrators and associated volunteers.

The Foundation was established in 2005 and is dedicated to ensuring the on-going viability and sustainability of sport and sporting success at the University. Extensive funding is required to provide the necessary infrastructure, coaching and administrative expertise, as well as the Sporting Scholarship Program for élite athletes. The Foundation enables benefactors to receive tax deductions for all donations in support of their principal sporting interests.

The University of Sydney Sport Foundation is structured so that gifts can be directed to support "sport in general" (for example scholarships or capital works projects) or "specific sporting clubs". There are currently 44 affiliated sporting clubs.
