WELCOME TO THE NAVY LEAGUE OF AUSTRALIA
Navy League of Australia celebrates 125 years
The Navy League of Australia celebrated its 125th anniversary on the evening of 26 November 2025, marking 125 years of advocacy for Australia’s maritime strength. The commemoration took place in the new auditorium of the Australian War Memorial in Canberra, where distinguished guests gathered to honour the League’s mission. This event was not just a celebration, but a reaffirmation of the League’s commitment to championing a powerful naval defence; nurturing the next generation through cadet support; and educating Australians on the vital truth that command of the seas safeguards freedom, underpins democracy and secures our Australian way of life.
The Navy League was established in Australia in 1900, initially in the form of small branches of the United Kingdom Navy League (established in 1897) and since 1950 as an autonomous national body headed by a Federal Council consisting of a Federal President and representatives of the six States, the Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory.
The Navy League of Australia is now one of a number of independent Navy Leagues formed in countries of the free world to influence public thinking on maritime matters and create interest in the sea.
The Navy League of Australia cordially invites you to become a Member and join in what we believe to be an important national task.
