North Queensland Cowboys fans will get rare access to players, coaches and club legends this October, with the inaugural Cowboys Muster Weekend officially added to the NRL calendar.
The post-season event will be held from 16–17 October at BIG4 Ingenia Holidays Cairns Coconut, offering a mix of fan experiences, player interaction, junior clinics and entertainment activities aimed at Cowboys supporters of all ages.
Current players will join club greats Gavin Cooper and Michael Morgan across the weekend, which begins with a Friday night welcome barbecue where guests will have the opportunity to meet and mingle with players and legends in a casual setting.
Saturday’s program will feature junior football clinics run by Cowboys squad members, alongside a pool party and a range of family-friendly competitions including mini golf challenges, basketball shooting contests and a league-themed trivia night.
Former Cowboys playmaker Michael Morgan said the event would be a nostalgic return to a place closely tied to his upbringing.
“Growing up in Townsville, I have so many happy memories of summer days in Cairns, passing the footy around with my brothers,” Morgan said.
“It feels like a full-circle moment to now be coming back and doing the exact same thing with my wife, kids, and our extended family of Cowboys fans.”
Ingenia Holidays Executive General Manager for Tourism Matthew Young said the event marks the beginning of a longer-term partnership with the club.
“Cowboys supporters are some of the most passionate, proud fans in the league, so it’s set to be a huge weekend,” he said.
“While we’ll be celebrating the end of our first footy season together, this Muster Weekend is really just the beginning of what’s going to be a fantastic journey with the club.”
