Australia
Sport

Team sports are a national pastime. Australians begin to play team sports at elementary school as part of the curriculum, and many continue to play them throughout life - lik cricket, Australian Rules Football, rugby league, rugby union, basketball, soccer, and netball.

Cricket is a favorite summer sport in Australia. The Australian national cricket team regularly plays against teams from England, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa, and the West Indies.

Australian Rules football, rugby league, rugby union, and soccer are played mainly during the winter. Australian Rules football was invented in Australia and is played mainly there and in the former Australian possession of Papua New Guinea. Australia plays rugby league and rugby union chiefly against the United Kingdom, France, South Africa, and New Zealand. Soccer is the fastest-growing team sport in Australia. The national soccer team plays teams from many other countries.

Netball is played mainly by women. It is popular in the countries of the Commonwealth that were once British colonies. Australia has often been the world champion. In terms of the number of people playing the sport, netball is the most popular team sport in Australia, but does not attract the media attention or large crowds of such sports as Australian Rules football and cricket.

WORLD-CLASS ATHLETES .
Australia has produced many world-famous athletes, especially in tennis, golf, swimming, and track and field. Australians have won numerous Olympic medals in swimming, track and field, rowing, cycling, and yachting. Australians also compete successfully in the international sport of surfing

THE MELBOURNE CUP
