Indigenous Nationals is an event created to provide the opportunity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander student athletes from universities across Australia to compete in an annual week-long multi-sport competition. 

The competition aims to not only celebrate the rich sporting culture of Indigenous Australia, but to also acknowledge the heritage and history of the participating student-athletes.

The Maaliwah are the most successful university team to date, winning the competition seven time and being placed runner-up four times. 

In 2024, Indigenous Nationals will be hosted in Wollongong, New South Wales from 23 - 27 June.
