TheAffiliated States Championship is an annualrugby league competition run by theAustralian Rugby League involving the five affiliated states (Victoria,South Australia,Northern Territory,Tasmania andWestern Australia) plus theAustralian Federal Police andAustralian Defence Force.
Following the Championship, a Combined Affiliated States (CAS) representative side is selected from the teams to tour the Pacific islands.
The initial Championship hadAustralian 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 atHindmarsh Stadium inAdelaide, however in 2015 they were held inDarwin Northern Territory.
2016 saw the championships return toAdelaide, and were played atThebarton Oval in Torrensville, withWestern Australia winning their seventh consecutive title.
