The event was run as the Australian Under-18 Championship in 1986. This lasted just one year and was changed to the Under-21 Championship in 1987, to bring it in line with the Individual Speedway Junior World Championship which was also for Under-21s.[4]
The inaugural Under-21 Championship in 1987 was held at the Undera Park Speedway in Victoria. The championship was won by Queenslander Gary Allan. It would take another 22 years (2009) before another Queenslander Darcy Ward won the event.
Leigh Adams from Mildura, Sydney's Chris Holder and Victorian rider Max Fricke, jointly hold the record for most wins in the Australian Under-21 Championship with four wins each. Leigh Adams, Darcy Ward and Max Fricke are the only Australian Under-21 Champions to have won the Under-21 World Championship.
