The Australian University Games is an event you don't want to miss!!!! The Australian University Games are renowned for providing a friendly but competitive environment for Australian university athletes and is the flagship event on the national university sporting calendar.

The Games are recognised as a perfect opportunity to provide university athletes, many of whom are of Olympic standard, to compete against each other in a national multi-sport event. As such, the Games has built up a reputation as a not-to-be-missed, event attracting over 6,000 participants each year.

Preparations are now underway for TeamMONASH™ to defend its title at the 2009 Australian University Games. 2008 saw Monash win the overall cup and we want to go back-to-back in 2009!
