Community Partners

The RiotACT has its roots firmly in the Canberra community, without whom we wouldn’t exist.

We are passionate about being involved in and supporting our Canberra community by assisting local charities and organisations. We support the following organisations and ask that you join us in supporting them in whatever way you can.


BrumbiesBrumbies Rugby & ACT and Southern NSW Rugby Union
The Brumbies have the most storied history of any Australian Super Rugby franchise. They have reached six finals and been crowned Champions on two occasions. Founded in 1996 the Brumbies reached their maiden final a year later. The Brumbies have the highest percentage of members per capita of any Super Rugby franchise.

The ACT has always proven to be a fertile breeding ground for future international stars and the Brumbies are immensely proud that almost half of the players who have represented the franchise have gone on to play for Australia. Local talent from Canberra and the surrounding region has been a hallmark of the club since its inception in 1996.

The RiotACT is proud and excited to support the work that the Brumbies are doing in the local community and the grass roots work with juniors across the ACT and Southern NSW. The RiotACT recently extended its connections with Canberra’s major sporting franchises and the regional community with the signing of a two-year sponsorship with Brumbies Rugby and ACT & Southern NSW Rugby Union.

The RiotACT will be on the sidelines cheering the Brumbies on to another finals appearance this season.


Canberra CavalryCanberra Cavalry
The Canberra Cavalry were founded in 2010-2011 and since then have proven to be a big success on and off the field, winning the Claxton Shield in their inaugural season, and pushing eventual champions Brisbane Bandits to the final game in the Championship series this year.

On the field, the Canberra Cavalry strive to promote a positive image to fans by displaying hard work, sportsmanship, and teamwork and these attributes are just as important to the Cavalry off the field. During the summer months and throughout the off-season, the Cavalry partner with local non-profit organisations that support the community, and are active at many Canberra events.

RiotACT and Canberra Cavalry share a common love of local community and sport, and recently signed a partnership.
