Under 16 Boys
Background
The first U16 Boys’ Championship was held in 1991 and won by NSW. The Shield is named to commemorate Arthur Allsopp, who umpired 18 consecutive Australian Open Championships between 1950 and 1963. In 2011, the Championship transitioned to the U17 Boys’ Championship, to reduce the gap to the U19 Championship from three years to two years. In 2020, with the change of the U19s to U18s, the Arthur Allsopp Shield also changed back to U16s, to maintain a two-year difference between championship age groups.
Today
The event exposes Australia’s elite young athletes to highly competitive, national level competition.
