What we&#39;re raising funds for: Our Sydney Women&#39;s Rosellas have qualified for the Buildcorp Australian Rugby Shield, a national talent-identification tournament being held in Newcastle from 8–11 October 2026. It&#39;s a 4-night residential tournament where our 28-player squad and 4 staff will compete against the best community rugby talent from across Australia — New South Wales, Queensland, ACT, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria and the Australian Defence Forces. We&#39;re raising funds to help cover the cost of getting our squad there: accommodation, playing and training kit, physio support, and team meals. Why we care: Women&#39;s rugby in Sydney has grown faster than the pathways supporting it. Our players are good enough to be seen by Super W and Wallaroos selectors, but tournaments like the Australian Rugby Shield — genuine, national-level talent-identification opportunities — don&#39;t come around often, and the cost of attending shouldn&#39;t be a barrier to a player getting that shot. As the organisation responsible for the women&#39;s rugby competition across Sydney, we believe it&#39;s on us to help our players get there. How we&#39;ll make it happen: Our players are already contributing $500 each towards the trip, but that still leaves a real gap to cover the rest of the squad&#39;s accommodation, kit, physio and food costs. We&#39;re running this campaign to close that gap, so the cost doesn&#39;t fall entirely on players who are already giving their time, energy and commitment to represent Sydney. Every dollar raised goes straight into getting the squad to Newcastle and giving them the best possible preparation once they&#39;re there. Who we are: We&#39;re Sydney Womens Rugby Union Incorporated, working closely with NSW Rugby Union and our affiliated clubs to grow and support women&#39;s rugby across Sydney.
