Calling all masters for the games
SENIOR sportspeople from the region can now enter to compete in the Australian Masters Games to be held in Canberra in October.
The AMG is one of the nation’s most exciting and inclusive multi-sport events and is officially open for registrations via the AMG website. This iconic event will take place from 18 to 25 October 2025 and will see thousands of masters athletes converge on the nation’s capital, Canberra.
The Australian Masters Games is a biennial multisport event for masters athletes regardless of ability, or experience. Founded in 1987, the AMG were the first games specifically created for masters athletes and they have become a cherished tradition in Australian sport, promoting health, wellness, and lifelong engagement.
With 30 sports (and counting) on offer currently, and more to come, the October event is sure to attract thousands from around the country.
AMG general manager Adam Drinkwell said it was exciting to welcome the masters community back to Canberra for the 20th Australian Masters Games.
“The Australian Masters Games is a celebration of community, wellbeing, and the love of sport at any age - whether you’re here to win medals or just have fun, this event promises to create memories that will last a lifetime,” he said.
“We’re thrilled to invite athletes of all backgrounds back to Canberra for the first time since 2003.
“The AMG is a festival of sport, bringing friends together for competition and a week of good times.”
To register, participants should go to the official Australian Masters Games website. There is currently 25% off the standard registration fee during the Gold Registration period, which is available now until 4 May.
The games are open to everyone aged 30 years old and above, regardless of skill level. Some sports have lower age minimums, such as gymnastics, which is 20 years old and above.
