The Australian Sports Car Championship was the CAMS sanctioned national title for Sports Car drivers in the years from 1969 to 1988. Each championship was contested over a series of races with the exception of the 1975 title, which was awarded on the results of a single race held at the Phillip Island circuit in Victoria.
Championship races were open to purpose-built sports racing cars complying with CAMS Group A Sports Car regulations except for the years 1976 to 1981 in which they were restricted to Group D Production Sports Cars.
Local manufacturers Matich, Elfin, Kaditcha, and K&A Engineering (Veskanda), along with McLaren dominated the series when run under Group A rules, while Porsche drivers won all six Group D based championships.
