The Royal Agricultural Society of NSW Function was founded in 1822. It was originally formed to help early settlers in their struggle to organise their farming resources and to provide an open forum for communication and information exchange. It is a not for profit organisation.

Our Members live in the country and city, but they are united in their belief for the future. To support excellence in Australian agriculture we need to encourage competition, provide education and celebrate the ‘best of the best’ of all things Australian.

Benefits for Members all year round

Membership benefits apply year round, but the most eagerly anticipated event of the year is Australia’s largest Show, the Sydney Royal Easter Show, which celebrates the best of Australian agriculture and produce. It also gives Members a once-a-year opportunity to catch up with old friends, and enjoy 14 days and nights of non-stop entertainment.
