History
The Australian Deaf Games is one of the oldest ongoing sporting events in the world. The origins of interstate deaf sport competitions can be traced back to 1895 when the Victorian deaf cricket team travelled to South Australia for a friendly deaf cricket match.
The first ‘Deaf Sports Carnivals' were held as early as 1911 and continued regularly until the Games in it's current format started in Sydney in 1964/1965.
Since then the Games have been held every 3 - 4 years with the 15th and most recent Games being held on the Gold Coast in January 2008:
