Since the late 1890s Australian rugby players have been participating in international and national competitions. They have won 2 world cups, as well numerous other tournaments. The Australian women's Rugby World Cups have seen four of their players compete.
The capital cities have always been the home of high-level domestic rugby competitions in Australia. These competitions include Super Rugby and the National Rugby Championship (NRC). These competitions however are being phased off. In 2020, the NRC will be discontinued, leaving just five teams in Super Rugby.
1995 marked the official debut of rugby union as an official professional sport. Both the club and international game saw major changes. This resulted the Super 12 competition which saw 12 provincial teams from 3 countries. New Zealand and Australia entered the competition to play against South Africa's top rugby provinces.
Before Super Rugby was introduced, the national championship was Australia’s highest domestic competition. This competition was originally contested by 10 teams. It was intended to bridge the gap between Super Rugby and club rugby. But the competition was ultimately shortened to nine teams.
The Super 12 competition began in 1995. The competition was previously limited to teams from New Zealand and Queensland's top provincial rugby clubs. Tri Nations Series, which was a tournament among the Super 12 teams, was also inaugurated.
Although the Sydney University Club was Australia’s first rugby club, the Sydney metropolitan tournament was created in 1874. There were 79 clubs in Sydney between 1874 and 1901. However, only five of them actually played in the match.
By 1903, the first Test between Australia and New Zealand was played at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Both teams won comfortably: 22-3 for Wallabies and 3-3 for All Blacks. In 1877, Sydney's metropolitan competition was severely damaged. It has largely been restricted to Sydney since then.
Numerous prominent Melbourne soccer clubs strongly supported the adoption and promotion of rugby rules during the mid-1870s. These clubs were affiliated to the Metropolitan Rugby Union. The MU was later renamed New South Wales Rugby Union.
Although rugby has been a popular Australian sport for many years, until 1995 it was not recognized as an official amateur sport. In 1995, the New South Wales Rugby Union (NSWRU) and the International Rugby Football Board (IRFBB) were founded. The NSWRU was home to many prominent players, including Sir Garfield Sobers.
New Zealand and Australia now have professional rugby union teams. Five Australian and two New Zealand teams compete in Super Rugby. Other major competitions are the Australian Provincial Championship, Pacific Nations Cup and World Rugby Sevens Series.
Australian Rugby Union offers a variety of services, including nutrition evaluations, job-specific training sessions, and the possibility to join a national team. Participants can also be part of an elite training program, which is run by professionals.

"Skier" means someone who uses skis/snowboards to get down hills. Skiers wear boots called "boots," pants called "pants," and helmets called "helmets." Their heads are protected by helmets when they fall.
"Skiing" means riding down hills on skis. This can be done on natural terrains such mountains or man-made, like ski resorts. Skiing requires special equipment such as skis and poles, bindings or boots, gloves, goggles, sunglasses and socks.
"Riding down Hills" - You must learn how you can stop yourself falling before you can ride downhill. To do this, push your legs against the ground while simultaneously pulling your back leg up. Next, kick your front leg forward. You keep doing this until you reach the desired speed. You will need to pull your legs forward and kick them further faster you travel. Once you reach the speed desired, you can let your legs relax. The process can be repeated if you wish to slow down.
After you have learned how to keep yourself from falling to the ground, it is time to determine how fast you want. There are many ways to measure speed. Some people prefer counting laps around the mountain. Other people prefer looking at the distance between each turn. If you are looking to improve your control of your speed, consider measuring it by either timing yourself or counting laps. Practice makes perfect!
