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.


50 Years of Orienteering – Inaugural Recognition

Orienteering NSW congratulates thirteen members for their 50 years (or more) of involvement in the sport of orienteering as of 2023. 

These current ONSW members are recognised for their participation at any level as a competitor and/or official and/or organiser and/or mapper and/or course setter.

They have also been substantially resident in NSW over the period.

Certificates will be presented to these honourees during the Christmas 5-Days, or at a suitable opportunity in the new year. 

Various strategies were used to identify current ONSW members who met the criteria for recognition.

This list may well be incomplete – if you think you should have been included, please contact your club.
