The Eric Johnston Awards return on Sunday 22 March 2026, celebrating the incredible people who make our rugby community what it is. From dedicated volunteers and match officials to coaches and players, this special night recognises the outstanding contributions of those who give so much to the game both on and off the field.

In 2026, the evening carries even more meaning as we celebrate 50 years of rugby in the Northern Territory — a milestone that honours our history, our people and the passion that continues to drive our community forward. Join us as we come together to recognise the individuals who help our game thrive.
