The Asia Pacific Lacrosse Championship (also known as the ASPAC Lacrosse Championship) is an international lacrosse competition contested to determine the best lacrosse national team in the Asia Pacific region.
History The inaugural edition of the Asia Pacific Lacrosse Championship was played in Adelaide, Australia in 2004, the same year the Asia Pacific Lacrosse Union was organized. This was a men's tournament split between two divisions, held from July 3 to 10. The under-21 teams of Japan and Australia were in Division 1, while South Korea played in Division 2. Seven other teams, either club and selection teams, also took part.
The following edition was held in Osaka, Japan in 2005. Since then the competition has been held every two years.
After failed attempts to organize a women's competition in 2005 and 2007, a women's competition has been played since the 2009 edition.
Results Some editions saw the participation of non-national team sides including teams from the United States. The Asia Pacific Lacrosse Union maintains a separate ranking solely for its member national teams.
