History[edit]

The national team made its debut in 2012 at the International Quidditch Association (IQA) Summer Games in Oxford, UK.

The Australian National Team 'The Drop Bears' competed at the IQA Global Games in 2012 and 2014, coming third and second respectively.[10]

The Dropbears claimed Gold in the 2016 IQA World Cup, defeating the United States 150*-130 with a snitch catch. This historic win took the international quidditch community by storm, being a significant upset against Team USA who were previously undefeated in the entire history of the sport. Australia defeated teams including Germany, France and Canada to qualify for the World Cup Final.[11]

The 2016 World Champion Dropbears squad was coached by Gen Gibson,[11] and captained by James Mortenson.[9]
