The 2025 Country Championships in Mudgee was an incredible weekend filled with exciting action, sportsmanship, and community spirit. Players, referees, coaches, affiliates, and supporters came together to celebrate the very best of country Touch Football in one of NSW’s most beautiful regional towns.
A huge thank you to the Mid-Western Regional Council for their support and partnership, and to the Mudgee Touch Association for their hard work and hospitality across the weekend. Your commitment and effort ensured the event ran seamlessly.
We’d also like to thank our referees, affiliates, players, coaches, and spectators for bringing the energy that makes Country Champs so special — and to BarTV Sports for capturing all the action live across the weekend.
From start to finish, it was an amazing event that showcased the true heart of regional Touch Football.
