Hopetoun Cup

Hopetoun Cup

The Hopetoun Cup was established as a perpetual trophy between Australia and Scotland in 1998.  In the spirit of the link between the two countries, it is named after the Seventh Earl of Hopetoun, a Scotsman, who, as the then Governor-General of Australia, presided over the Federation of Australia in 1901.  Like the Cook Cup, the Hopetoun Cup is crystal and was designed by Royal Doulton in London.

Australia won the Hopetoun Cup in 1998.
