The 2001 Goodwill Games was the fifth and final edition of the international multi-sport event. The competition was held in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, from 29 August to 9 September 2001. A total around 1300 athletes took part in 14 sporting competitions.[1] These were the first and only Goodwill Games to be held outside of the US and Russia, and the only time to be taken place in the Southern Hemisphere.

The small scale opening ceremony was held at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre at Boondall and featured The Corrs, Bardot and Keith Urban. There was a live audience of 10,000 and the ceremony was broadcast live to an international audience of 450 million viewers.[2]

The Goodwill Bridge, a pedestrian and cyclist bridge spanning the Brisbane River, is named after the games.[3][4][5][6]

Hosts Australia topped the medal table with 29 gold and 74 total medals. Russia was second with 24 and 73, respectively, while the United States placed third (21 and 71).
