The '''Australian Club Championship ''' is a [[rugby union]] challenge match between the [[Queensland Premier Rugby|Brisbane]] and [[Tooheys New Cup|Sydney]] club premiers. The fixture was played on a regular basis from 1982 to 1991 (inclusive) and again since 2007, and also on an ad hoc basis in various other years. The regular scheduling was initially abandoned in 1993 when the [[NSWRU]] insisted on playing each match at [[Concord Oval]] in Sydney, rather than on a rotating basis. The championship was revived when it was agreed that the winners of the 2006 premierships would play the challenge match as a curtain raiser to the following year's [[Queensland Reds]] and [[NSW Waratahs]] match in the [[Super Rugby|Super 14]] competition.<ref name = sufc-2007/>

Australian Club Championship
Gegründet1982; 42 years ago (1982)
RegionBrisbane
Sydney

The Australian Club Championship is a rugby union challenge match between the Brisbane and Sydney club premiers. The fixture was played on a regular basis from 1982 to 1991 (inclusive) and again since 2007, and also on an ad hoc basis in various other years. The regular scheduling was initially abandoned in 1993 when the NSWRU insisted on playing each match at Concord Oval in Sydney, rather than on a rotating basis. The championship was revived when it was agreed that the winners of the 2006 premierships would play the challenge match as a curtain raiser to the following year's Queensland Reds and NSW Waratahs match in the Super 14 competition.[1] A women's match was first played in 2023.
