The AustralAsian intervarsity is held early in July each year, and hosted by a different institution each year. It was first held in 1975, originally as the Australian Intervarsity Debating Championships. The 1990s saw increasing participation from Asia and New Zealand which lead to the tournament receiving its current name.
