About the program
What we do
Sport has always been at the heart of Fijian life. FCAV runs and supports rugby, netball and touch football teams across Melbourne, and hosts the flagship Bula Cup, our annual tournament uniting Pacific clubs from across Victoria. We welcome players of all skill levels, ages and genders.
Bula Cup (Annual)
A weekend-long rugby and netball tournament held each November, with cultural performances, food stalls and family activities.
Touch Football Competition
A mixed-gender summer competition running October to March at venues across the north and west.
Junior Pathways
Our partnership with Rugby Victoria delivers coaching clinics and pathway opportunities for U14–U18 players.
Women's Netball
The FCAV Women's Netball squad trains weekly, with friendly fixtures against other Pacific community clubs.
