The Disher Challenge Cup is awarded to the winner of an annual eight oar rowing boat race held over a distance of approximately 3 miles at a regatta between three tertiary institutions in the Australian Capital Territory: * the Royal Military College, Duntroon, * the Australian National University, and * the Australian Defence Force Academy. Other crews race by invitation, but cannot be awarded the Cup. ==History== The Disher Challenge Cup was named for Captain H.C. (Clive) Disher of the Australian Army Medical Corps, who stoked the 1919 Australian Imperial Force (AIF) Number 1 crew that beat Oxford University in the final of the Inter-Allied Services event at the Henley Peace Regatta after the end of the World War I.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Disher Cup )〕 Disher presented the Disher Cup to the inaugural winning crew, the Australian National University, in 1971. Initially the Cup was between the Royal Military College and the Australian National University until the Australian Defence Force Academy was established in 1986.
