THE Blacktown Red Belly Warriors (BRBW) are seeking team nominations for the 2025 BRBW Knockout, which will be held on 20th September at The Kingsway, St Marys.

The BRBW Knockout is the only Sydney knockout tournament played before the annual Koori Knockout, which will be held in Tamworth this year over the Long Weekend 3-6th October.

The 2025 Koori Knockout is one of the largest gatherings of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the country, uniting players, supporters and spectators in a celebration of sport, culture, and community.

The Koori Knockout has grown to be one of the largest Indigenous sporting events in the world. In 2024, the tournament featured an extraordinary 138 teams, including current and former NRL and NRLW stars, showcasing the immense talent and passion within First Nations communities. The event attracted a live audience of 30,000 attendees and reached an impressive 500,000 viewers through television broadcasts, underlining its importance to the wider Australian public.

The BRBW Knockout is the perfect warm-up opportunity for teams hoping to play well in Tamworth, providing match conditions to prepare both players and officials prior to the national event.
