The championships return to Sydney after a break of seven years and it will be the 27 occasions Sydney has hosted the national titles. The Australian Championships were held jointly with New Zealand until 1928 and called Australasian Championships. The men’s and women’s championships have been held jointly and separately during the 91 years. On occasions only a men’s or women’s championship were held and earlier championships were only held every second year. The first Australian (Australasian) Championship was held at the MCG on the 9th and 11th of November 1893. There was however an Inter- Colonial Championship held in 1890 in Sydney. The first women’s championships were held on the MCG on the 25th and 27th January 1930. No championships were held during the following war years: 1913/14-1919/20 and 1939/40-1946/47. Venues for the Australian/Australasian Championships: Sydney 27, Brisbane 23, Melbourne 23, Adelaide 14, Perth 11, Hobart 9, Wellington NZL 2, Canberra 1, Christchurch 1 and Auckland 1. The championships have been held at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on three occasions. Other interesting venues include: SCG (Sydney), St Kilda Cricket Ground (Melbourne), Lang Park (Brisbane) and as recently as 1975 at the Adelaide Oval, Brisbane Cricket Ground and Hobart Cricket Ground. Although the Sydney Athletics Field/ES Marks Memorial Field (SAF) was opened in 1953 on a nice new cinders track, the 1954 championships were still conducted at the SCG. In the 1960s and 1970s when the men’s nationals were held on the SAF, the women’s championships continued to be held on the grass at the SSG. They Sydney University oval hosted the 1948 championships and day one of the 1936 titles were held at Rushcutters Bay oval, in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs. The only occasion an event has been held outside a major capital city was in 1961 when the decathlon was held in Bathurst NSW, while Lang Park in Brisbane hosted the championship. The 1994 championships were held on the newly opened Sydney Olympic Park Athletics Centre, which in 1996 would host the world junior championships and was the warm up track for the Sydney Olympics.
