We are delighted to present the logo for the 2025 National Summer Games (NSG) which positions our athletes at the heart of the Games surrounded by our 42 Clubs and all those who contribute to and support the lives of our athletes.
With excitement building as we get ready for these Games, we invite you to be part of something truly special—a celebration of inspiring performances, unforgettable moments of triumph, courage, connection, and love for sport.
Whether you cheer from the stands, volunteer your time, or simply spread the word, you’re helping create an event where every effort is celebrated, every challenge is met with support, and every moment is filled with joy.
Save the date, rally your friends and whānau, and join us in making these Games the most memorable and inclusive yet.

With over 1,300 athletes and hundreds more volunteers, coaches and other support staff set to descend upon Ōtautahi Christchurch, the 2025 National Summer Games will be another amazing celebration of the power of inclusive sport.
