The 2012 Maso Cup - an annual pre-season soccer tournament - has been postponed as a result of the rain which has engulfed the Illawarra throughout the week.
Officials have rescheduled the 12-team event to next weekend.
The tournament will now start on Friday, February 3 and finish on Sunday, February 5.
The tournament is held annually for teams of Macedonian origin and will feature four Illawarra-based sides including Premier League outfits Wollongong United and Cringila Lions.
Sides from Victoria, Canberra and Newcastle were among those set to travel long distances to reach Wollongong.
