Alpaca

Recognised internationally and celebrated as one of Australia’s most prestigious alpaca events, the Sydney Royal Alpaca Competition showcases excellence across Suri, Huacaya, and Fleece exhibits. While alpacas first appeared at the Easter Show in 1869, they’ve been a continuous and much anticipated feature since 1992.

Whether you're a first time exhibitor or a seasoned trophy winner, every participant benefits from expert, independent judging that provides valuable feedback, helping breeders benchmark their studs and elevate their standing within the industry.
