Main article Sport in Australia
Australians are passionate about sport, and it forms a major part of the country's culture. Most of Australia's patriotism is expressed through sport, and thus it is taken quite seriously, especially seen during events such as the olympics and other international events.
Australian Rules Football typifies the uniqueness of the Australian sporting landscape. It is a completely unique game of football, for all body types, that is played in all states and is the most popular sport in the nation [1]. Aussie Rules is the most popular winter sport, yet there are certainly other acknowledged winter sports occurring.
Although Rugby league is not an indigenous Australian game, it the most popular winter sport in New South Wales, Australia's most populous state. Most of the teams in the NRL are based within Sydney, while many Australian Football League teams are based in Melbourne. Australia has one of the highest standard rugby league competitions in the world. In fact it would seem that football of almost any code is popular in Australia [2].
Australians also enjoy other imported sports, such as cricket, netball, rugby league, rugby union, soccer, golf, basketball and tennis.
One must also note that non-mainstream sports in Australia still attract a high standard from Australian teams due the sporting culture. A prime examples is field hockey where Australia's teams are considered amongst the best in the world.
As with most nations, women's sport is given less attention than men's, in both media coverage and funding, although the gap is closing slowly.
