Embodying the values of Turangawaewae (place and belonging), Manamotuhake (self-determination), Hauroa (enhancing wellness), and Manaakitanga (a supported approach), the Rainbow Games 2024 aims to create a safe space for rainbow individuals and their allies to engage in various sports and activities. This event welcomes participants from both near and far by fostering a sense of community and camaraderie.
The Rainbow Games 2024 promises an unparalleled experience of diversity and athleticism, offering 14 sports to choose from. With divisions available for both social and competitive players, including Open and female-identifying categories, there is something for everyone.

Tennis enthusiasts are not left out, as an exciting Early Bird offer is also available for Aotearoa, New Zealand’s first GLTA-sanctioned tennis tournament.
For only $210, participants can secure their place in this thrilling event, priced at $295 at its total rate. By joining, players can revel in the joy of their favourite sport while immersing themselves in an atmosphere bursting with camaraderie and excitement.
