The Hopetoun Cup was established as a perpetual rugby union trophy between Australia and Scotland[1] in 1998. In the spirit of the link between the two countries, it is named after the 7th 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.
Scotland are the current holders winning back-to-back 24–19 in Sydney, 53-24 in Edinburgh in 2017, and Edinburgh again 15-13 in 2021. Australia have held the cup for the majority of its existence. However, in 2009 and 2012, Scotland recorded back-to-back wins to hold the cup for four years.[2]
