Xanthorrhoea Trophy

The Xanthorrhoea Trophy is awarded to the champion state in the Relays at the Australian championships each year. 

Points shall be allocated in each class except “Mixed Age Classes”, as follows:

  Elite and A classes A short classes B classes
1st 3 points  2 points 1 point
2nd 2 points 1 point  
3rd 1 point    

 

The trophy was donated by QLD in 1984 and based on the results in the Australian Relay Championships, which at that time were for club-based teams. In 1997 the Relays changed to state-based teams. Before 1997 NSW was hamstrung by having smaller clubs than ACT and VIC, but since the switched to state-based teams NSW has dominated the competition.
