In the late 1940s and 1950s the Australian National Quiz Championships were run and broadcast live by ABC Radio.[1] The quiz was arranged to promote the federal government's security loans for post-war reconstruction.[2]

Since 2007 the Australian Quiz Championship has been run by Quizzing Australia in conjunction with the World Quizzing Championship.
