Welcome to Orienteering NSW

Orienteering is a sport that challenges both the body and the mind. It's also loads of fun!

The aim is to use a special orienteering map to navigate your way around a course and visit marked check points along the way. You choose a course that suits your age and experience and proceed at your own pace: walk, jog or run. It is a race but you decide if you want to just race yourself or be the next world champion! The course may take you through urban areas, parks, schools, farmland or forests.

Events are conducted weekly across NSW and beginners are welcome at all events.

2019 High Performance calendar released

Orienteering Australia has released its High Performance calendar for 2019.

The highlight for NSW is the return to the complex gold mining terrain of Hill End for the opening rounds of the National Orienteering League and our State League, on March 30-31.

We host the NOL again with the NSW Middle and Long Champs near Cowra in mid-May.

The NOL finishes on home turf with the Oceania champs in the Riverina (hosted by ACT) in September-October.

The Oceania Sprint at CSU Wagga on September 28 will also be the 2019 Australian University Orienteering Championships, conducted in the M/W20E and M/W21E classes. It will be open to all students enrolled in an Australian university in 2019 who enter in those age categories.

NOL events 1-6 will be selection trials for the 2019 JWOC team.
NOL events 1-2, 5-6 and 8-10 will be used for selection of the 2019 WOC team, with particular focus on events 9-10.
For all squad athletes there will be two weekends set for physical test time trials in February and March.
