Originally established in 1991 as a competition between the Real Estate Institutes of Tasmania and Victoria, the idea quickly gained traction, with South Australia joining in, hosting the event biennially. With time, the other Australian states and territories joined the competition, forming a partnership with New Zealand. By 2005, the Championship had transitioned into an annual event, coveted by auctioneers across Australasia.
