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.


2022 Rookie of the Year

The Rookie of the Year Award is presented to a new orienteer with limited orienteering experience (up to two seasons) showing improvement in competition standard.

While Stephanie Nicholls (Garingal Orienteers) orienteered early in her life during her school days, she didn’t continue. 

She returned in 2021 and started adult orienteering with intensity! 

Stephanie topped Women’s Open B (moderate) in the 2022 NSW State League.

She also won the 2022 Metro League Individual Medal for Division 6.

Feeling prepared now to take on the challenge of more Hard courses in 2023, she has already competed in W50A in two sprint events.

2022 Presidents Junior Award

The President’s Junior Award is presented to a young orienteer (age 20 or less) for outstanding service to the sport beyond competition. 

Erika Enderby (Newcastle Orienteers) at 15 was the youngest member of the Australian 2022 Junior World Orienteering Championships Team competing in Portugal.

Erika has competed in every Australian Championships and Easter 3-Day competition since her W10 debut in 2014 and was selected in the 2022 Australian Schools Honour Team in her first year as a senior girl.

Erika helps juniors of her club on the novice course, was vetter for 2022 Newcastle’s Orienteer of the Year event and helps at events.
