The sports contested in ASC competitions include athletics, ^[1] basketball, cricket, ^[2] cross country running, hockey, netball, rugby union, ^[3] and swimming. ^[4]

The sports contested in independent competitions, but which include ASC member schools include Australian rules football, dragon boat racing, hockey, rowing, rugby union, squash, soccer, tennis, and water polo.
