The Invictus Games is the only international sport event for wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women, both serving and veteran.
Their aim is to use the power of sport to inspire recovery, support rehabilitation and generate a wider understanding and respect of all those who serve their country.
Sydney is the fourth city to host the Invictus Games, after London in 2014, Orlando in 2016, and Toronto last year which was attended by Meghan.
The royal couple enjoyed their first public appearance at the Canadian games where the duo finally confirmed their relationship to the world, holding hands as they made their way into the event, and then laughing and chatting happily while sitting in the stands.
The Sydney Games, staged from October 20 to 27, will see more than 500 competitors from 18 nations compete in 11 adaptive sports.
The UK team trials are being run by Help for Heroes, with support from the Ministry of Defence, the Royal British Legion and the Endeavour Fund, and will be hosted at the University of Bath over four days.
