The New South Wales Championship Trophy, the Countess of Dudley Cup, since being presented in 1910, has arguably become one of the most coveted trophies in Australian Club Polo. The trophy was named after the wife of William Ward, the second Earl of Dudley, who served as Governor General from 1908 to 1911.

The Countess of Dudley presented the silver cup at the inaugural tournament in 1910. It was intended to be a perpetual challenge trophy open to all member clubs of the New South Wales Polo Association and to clubs that are members of kindred associations in other states.

This year, there are 12 club teams competing for this prestigious trophy.
