Affiliated States Championship
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Template:EngvarB Script error: No such module "Infobox".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". The Affiliated States Championship is an annual rugby league competition run by the Australian Rugby League involving the five affiliated states (Victoria, South Australia, Northern Territory, Tasmania and Western Australia) plus the Australian Federal Police and Australian Defence Force.
Following the Championship, a Combined Affiliated States (CAS) representative side is selected from the teams to tour the Pacific islands.
History
The initial Championship had Australian Capital Territory and Newcastle in it because they were the two strongest competitions outside of the Queensland Rugby League and New South Wales Rugby League.
The Championship resumed in 2003 with just the four Affiliated states. The PRLA Australian team joined the competition in 2005.
The Affiliated Championships have over the past few years (2010–2014) been held at Hindmarsh Stadium in Adelaide, however in 2015 they were held in Darwin Northern Territory.
2016 saw the championships return to Adelaide, and were played at Thebarton Oval in Torrensville, with Western Australia winning their seventh consecutive title.
Teams
South Australia and Tasmania field a joint team as the least developed rugby league states.
