It's been a record-breaking Pink Test, with more than $11.7 million raised - the highest amount in the event's history - enabling the McGrath Foundation to extend its care to more families facing cancer than ever before.
McGrath Foundation President & Co-Founder, Glenn McGrath, expressed his gratitude to Australia for rising to the occasion this Pink Test as it works towards its goal of ensuring no one with cancer misses out on care.
"With 1 in 2 people in Australia likely to be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, the demand for cancer care has never been greater. That's why we set our most ambitious Pink Test goal ever. Thanks to the support of the Australian community, more families in need will receive the life-changing care of a McGrath Cancer Care Nurse.
"Eighteen years since the first Pink Test and the generosity of Australia still blows me away."
- Glenn McGrath, McGrath Foundation President & Co-Founder
"The Pink Test is like nothing else. People turn up in pink, year after year and wrap their arms around us - whether you're at the SCG or watching from home, it brings the whole country together. To every person who has purchased a Virtual Pink Seat, thank you; we are incredibly grateful.
"I'd also like to say an enormous thank you to our partners at Cricket Australia and the SCG; this event gets bigger and better every year, and it wouldn't be possible without them."
Cricket Australia CEO Todd Greenberg, said: "The Pink Test continues to show the powerful role sport can play in driving positive change, and we are incredibly proud to stand alongside the McGrath Foundation once again. Year after year, this Test demonstrates the generosity of the cricket community, and the response in 2026 has been outstanding.
"We thank the fans, players, volunteers and partners who helped make this year's Pink Test such a success, and we are grateful to NRMA Insurance and our broadcast and commercial partners for their ongoing commitment to this cause."
Sydney Cricket Ground CEO Kerrie Mather, said: "It's been a record-breaking week at the Sydney Cricket Ground with our biggest ever total crowd coming together in pink to cap off a memorable Ashes series and show their support for people through cancer.
