Born from a blend of speed, strategy and fierce determination, wheelchair rugby is an intense, contact team sport played by males and females across eight-minute quarters.
As the national governing body for wheelchair rugby, Wheelchair Rugby Australia is proud to lead and grow one of the most exciting and inclusive sports in the country.
From local clubs and grassroots programs to the world-class Australian Steelers, we’re here to help more Australians discover it, play it, and cheer for it.
Whether you’re picking up a ball for the first time or simply curious about this incredible parasport, welcome to wheelchair rugby.
The Australian Steelers have continued their 2026 World Championship campaign with a 59 to 32 victory over Brazil, but the score only tells part of the story of a contest that produced some stunning and highly unusual scenes for a game of wheelchair rugby.
