Melbourne | Sporting Capital of the World

MELBOURNE has been named the Top Sports Events City in the world and the Ultimate Sports City (3rd time) in the world, besides that, we love our 'footy'.

The study found Melbourne had an "unparalleled track record reputation" for hosting sport, with international events industry bosses also praising its "versatility, stadia, city atmosphere and local passion for all sports".

Melbourne is home to Australian Rules Football, Australian Tennis Open, Formula 1 Grand Prix, Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix and the Melbourne Cup.

Melburnians are sports mad, regardless of what sport it is!
