The Intervarsity Rogaining Championships began in 1969 and from 1981 has been coordinated by the Australian Rogaining Association. A travel bursary is available to cover the travel costs of one team from each state/territory to compete at the Championships in NSW. The amount available is currently being calculated by the Australian Rogaining Association.
The 2025 Australian Intervarsity Rogaining Championships will be held in conjunction with the NSW State Rogaining Championships on 13-14 September 2025. The area, in the western Blue Mountains and Southern Tablelands, is considered to be some of the best rogaining country in the world – light bushland, few tracks, clear topographical features without being too steep and rugged.

Applications close 11.59pm 31 July 2025. To apply email, Sue Noy on president@rogainevic.org.au.
Background
The Nigel Aylott Memorial Sports Foundation (NAMSF) sponsored the re-establishment of the Intervarsity competition in 2007. The NAMSF provided a perpetual trophy for the winning Intervarsity team named ‘The Nigel Aylott trophy’. For many years the Foundation paid the travel costs for one university team from each state so that there can be a well-represented national competition. The Foundation left a generous legacy to the Australian Rogaining Association to enable continuation of this support.
