Nebraska Rodeo Since 1955
Nebraska rodeo has deep roots — and the NSRA has been tending them since 1955.
For over 70 years, the Nebraska State Rodeo Association has served as the backbone of amateur rodeo in this state. We sanction 17 rodeos annually across Nebraska, support the committees who produce them, and provide competitors a legitimate, organized path to year-end championships and a Finals worth riding toward.
We're not a corporate entity. We're ranchers, ropers, riders, and rodeo families who believe this sport deserves to be done right. That shared investment in the culture is what sets Nebraska rodeo apart — and it's what keeps people coming back.
What We Bring to the Arena
With over 350 active members and a combined attendance of 20,000–30,000 fans across our sanctioned season, the NSRA represents one of the most engaged western audiences in the region. Our competitors travel across the state to chase points, and the communities that host NSRA rodeos draw crowds who support local businesses, fill bleachers, and show up year after year.
Our social media reach continues to grow — now over 5,800 followers on Facebook — with an audience that is actively involved in ranching, agriculture, and the western way of life.
For Rodeo Committees
Partnering with the NSRA means more than a sanction. It means access to a network of qualified competitors, a rulebook built for consistency and fairness, and an association that's been supporting Nebraska rodeo committees for generations. We're here to help your rodeo succeed.
For Sponsors
When you partner with the NSRA, your brand stands alongside a sport and a community that values loyalty. Our audience doesn't just attend rodeos — they live the lifestyle your business serves. From the arena to the ranch, NSRA sponsors get meaningful visibility with people who pay attention to who supports what they love.
