Australian Masters Games - Team RSL
18 - 25 October 2025 - Canberra ACT
Join Team RSL and get involved in one of Australia’s most iconic multi-sport events!
The 20th Edition of the Australian Masters Games will be held in Canberra from 18-25 October 2025 and promises to be one of the best events yet.
RSL Australia is inviting RSL members to join Team RSL for the opportunity to connect through sport, with mates new and old, while enjoying the challenge and camaraderie that sport brings.
