The Kanaka Proud Cup is a culturally significant event created to celebrate and honour the heritage of the Australian South Sea Islander (ASSI) community, particularly in Mackay and Rockhampton.
The Cup is more than a rugby league match - it's a community celebration that fosters pride, unity and cultural identity among ASSI people.
The Cup alternates bi-annually between Mackay and Rockhampton, strengthening ties between the two communities and promoting mental health, wellbeing, and cross-cultural awareness.
2025 will see the Australian South Sea Islander United Council - Independent Rockhampton and District Inc. host the Kanaka Proud Cup, come along and enjoy a day of football and celebrating ASSI history and culture.
