Australian National Bowls Championships


The Australian National Bowls Championships is organised by Bowls Australia and bowls dates back to 1845 in Australia. However it was not until 1910, during the 1910 Carnival of bowls that South Australia proposed the formation of the Australian Bowling Council which duly formed the following year in 1911. The first National Singles Championships were held in 1913, with each state holding the Championships in turn. The Championships were also known as the Carnival at one stage.
The Championships were not held for a twelve year period from 2005 until 2016 when the Australian Open effectively replaced the National Championships. They returned in 2017 at the Club Sapphire Merimbula.
