Inter Dominion Trotting Championship

for winners of the pacing event see: Inter Dominion Pacing Championship

The Inter Dominion Trotting Championship Grand Final is a race for trotters within the overall Inter Dominion series. The series is an annual harness racing competition for both trotters and pacers that has been contested since 1936 in Australia and New Zealand. The host of the series is selected between the 6 harness racing states of Australia and the North and South Islands of New Zealand.

On occasions some Australian states had been reluctant to host the series with the pacers championship so it was held separately in Victoria. A meeting with leading Australasian harness racing officials led to a decision that the Inter Dominion Trotting Championship would be discontinued after 2012. Several new major trotting races were created to replace the series, most notably the Great Southern Star at Melton in March, which was to be run with a one-day heat and final format. However these Trotting Championship was re-introduced in 2018.
