The biennial Australasian Championships, primarily contested by athletes from Australia and New Zealand although open to athletes from other nations, was first staged in 1893. An earlier inter-colonial meeting was, however, also held in 1890. Only men's events were included on the programme. The 1922 championships were held over the 1921/22 new year period. The championships were superseded by the Australian Open Championships in 1930. For full results of championships see the Athletics Australia website.
