The Australian Lacrosse Hall of Fame, inaugurated in 2025, has been established to recognise exceptional performances of athletes at World Championships, World Cups, and National carnivals, as well as those individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the growth and development of lacrosse in Australia.[1][2][3]
The need for a Hall of Fame to recognise, acknowledge and celebrate the achievements of Australia's finest lacrosse players in its nearly 150-year history had been mooted for several years,[4] with a formal announcement of its institution coming in late 2024.[5]
The inaugural class of Australian Lacrosse Hall of Fame was formally inducted at a ceremony in Adelaide on 14 November 2025, with 14 male and 7 female athletes, including one who was elevated to Legend status.[6][7][8]
