We define a space of random edge-coloured graphs [Gscr]n,m,κ which correspond naturally to edge κ-colourings of Gn,m. We show that there exist constants K0, K1 [les ] 21 such that, provided m [ges ] K0n log n and κ [ges ] K1n, then a random edge-coloured graph contains a multi-coloured Hamilton cycle with probability tending to 1 as the number of vertices n tends to infinity.
