About
🏉 **Weary Dunlop Lunch 2025 – Rugby Rising: The Next Chapter for Victoria**Thursday 20 November 2025 | Grand Hyatt Melbourne | Tickets $149 (Lunch + Drinks)
For nearly three decades, the iconic Weary Dunlop Lunch has been the beating heart of Victorian rugby, where our community gathers to honour the game, celebrate its people, and reignite our shared passion for the sport we love.
This year, we come together under the theme "Rugby Rising: The Next Chapter for Victoria.”
The rugby landscape in Victoria has shifted over the past 18 months, bringing new challenges, fresh opportunities, and a renewed sense of purpose. This lunch is our chance to regroup as a community, share perspectives, and shape the direction of our game’s next great chapter.
We’ll hear from Melbourne-born Wallaby Nick Stiles, who has lived and breathed rugby at both local and professional levels. Nick will offer his unique insights on the game locally and globally, and the real opportunities available to Victorian players today.
Because you have to experience rugby in Victoria to truly understand it — the passion, the people, and the pride that make our community so special.
It’s time to back each other again.
To champion our clubs, players, coaches, referees, and volunteers.
To spark the conversations and collaborations that will define the future of Victorian rugby.
The **Weary Dunlop Lunch** isn’t just another corporate event - it’s a tradition. A moment each year when the entire rugby family gathers to share stories, laughter, and vision. To honour the spirit of **Sir Edward “Weary” Dunlop**, a man who embodied courage, leadership, and service , the very qualities our game is built on.
**Join us at the Grand Hyatt Melbourne** for a day of connection, conversation, and community. Enjoy a premium two-course lunch with drinks, inspiring guest speakers, and the camaraderie that only rugby can bring.
🎟 **Tickets just $149 — incredible value** for an afternoon of mateship, meaning, and momentum.
Because where else in town can you enjoy great company, good food, and even better rugby spirit for that price?
Let’s build. Let’s connect. Let’s celebrate Victorian rugby together.
