ANZRI Sports
Since the early 1900s, WARI representative teams have proudly taken part in spirited sporting competitions against fellow Railway Institutes across Australia and New Zealand. These events—fondly known as ANZRI Carnivals—have long been a celebration of friendly rivalry, teamwork, and the enduring bonds between railway communities.
The ANZRI Sports tradition lives on thanks to passionate volunteers and dedicated members who continue to uphold the values of sportsmanship and connection: bringing people together through sport.
Whether you're an athlete, or simply enjoy being part of a team, we invite you to get involved in our Interstate Carnivals and State Championships. These events are more than just competitions—they're opportunities to meet like-minded members, represent your State, and be part of a legacy built on unity and pride.
States currently involved include Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia, Tasmania, and New Zealand. Not all States field teams in every Sport, but every participant plays a vital role in keeping the ANZRI spirit alive.
Special Retired Sports Memberships* are available for ex-rail employees and partners, friends or ex-colleagues. Email wari@wari.asn.au or call 9326 2773 to find out more.
Come join us, connect with fellow members, and experience the camaraderie that makes ANZRI Sports truly special.
