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.

Want to enter an event? You can see what's on by looking at the Coming Events at left or by going to the Event Calendar. Some events are enter on the day - you just turn up and register at the start. Other events require pre-entry and for that you need to know about (and register with) Eventor - read the Eventor FAQ.


ONSW thanks the Carbine Club

Orienteering NSW is delighted to announce that the Carbine Club of NSW has extended its support of the NSW Schools Orienteering Team.

The Carbine Club is a philanthropic organisation that supports the development of junior sports through sponsorship grants.

The schools team is known as the NSW Carbines in recognition of this support. Funding provided by the club helps reduce the costs of competing at the annual Australian Schools Championships.

Since 2001, the Carbine Club has donated more than $55,000 to the NSW junior team. Recently, ONSW was fortunate to again receive a grant of $5,000 for 2016. Pictured here is our executive officer Paul Prudhoe accepting the cheque from current chairman Michael Chrismale at a function at the SCG last at Friday.

Whenever we can reduce the costs of training and competition camps we can immediately improve the opportunity for participation of all NSW juniors.

The NSW Carbines and Orienteering NSW greatly thank the Carbine Club for their continued support. A special note of thanks is also extended to Garingal member Tim Cox for his assistance and support as a member and past president of the Carbine Club.
