Western Australia has a rich history of great sporting teams and the Team of the Year Award recognises outstanding performance by WA sides.

To be eligible, a team must be an officially recognised State team or WA-based team competing at a national level, a team representing Australia comprised solely of athletes eligible in either the Sports Star or Junior Sports Star categories, or a team registered and based in a WA club e.g. 1983 America’s Cup crew.
