🌈 5th Annual PRIDE CUP – Roller Derby That Hits Different! 🌈
Saturday 8th November 2025 – Warragul Leisure Centre
Gippsland Ranges Roller Derby is thrilled to be hosting our 5th Annual Pride Cup – five years strong celebrating LGBTQIA+ inclusion, visibility and joy through the fierce, full-contact fun of roller derby.
From our very first Pride Cup in June 2019 – the first of its kind in Australian roller derby – we’ve been committed to creating space for joy, gender diversity and fierce community spirit on wheels. In 2025, we’re proud to keep that momentum rolling!
This year, we’re once again teaming up with the Gippsland Pride Initiative and key LGBTQIA+ community services to bring you an unforgettable night of action, celebration and connection.
🎉 What’s On?
- Double-header derby with the return of Juniors for their second year – showcasing the incredible skills of our up and coming members
- Low and modified contact scrims - Because derby is beautiful no matter the level
- Our feature bout: GRRD vs. The Gender Ending Story – it’s gonna be loud, proud and full of hits
- Community festival vibe: stalls, connection spaces, pride merch, food and all-round good vibes
This event is more than just a game – it’s a celebration of who we are, who we skate with, and what makes our roller derby community so special. We’re beyond stoked to host this event right here, in the heart of Gippsland – our home.
