This trophy was presented to Rowing Australia in 1999 by its then principal sponsor Zurich Financial Services for presentation to the State with the highest points scored from racing in each Interstate Championship. The cup itself is one of only 500 in the world that were made from the sands collected by Olympians from every Olympic country in the world. Naturally the cup is presented after the last Interstate Championship each year to the Councillor of the winning State.

The ideas and format for this history originated from the Olympic Rowing and World Senior Rowing Championship histories written by Andrew Guerin and Margot Foster in 1991, 1992 & 1993 for the Australian team handbooks. Andrew Guerin has developed and extended the histories to the current format in 2004 for publication in 2004 and 2005 and acknowledges the ongoing assistance of Margot Foster.
