Draft:University Lacrosse in Australia and New Zealand

Submission declined on 1 June 2025 by AlphaBetaGamma (talk).

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

There are several inter-university lacrosse competitions in Australia and New Zealand, including state-wide competitions in Victoria and New South Wales, and a national competition in New Zealand. UniSport runs the UniSport Nationals annually, which features a four-day tournament for Australian universities.

These competitions are generally Lacrosse Fives, a developed version of Intercrosse, which features four "runners" and a goalie on each side, in a non-contact, mixed-gender format.^[1]

Players generally use men's sticks and do not wear protective gear. Goalies are required to wear a chest protector, a helmet, and gloves.
