The Sydney Royal Rabbit Show at the Sydney Royal Easter Show is one of Australia’s longest-running and most popular domestic animal competitions, with rabbits first exhibited in 1858. The program welcomes breeders and pet owners, featuring breed classes for Fancy, Fur, Rex and Lop rabbits judged on colour, coat, conformation and presentation. Additional classes include Adult and Junior Handlers, Novice Exhibitor, Owner Bred, Pet Rabbit and the coveted Champion of Champions. In 2025, Rabbit Hopping was introduced as a new feature event, where rabbits of all breeds compete in agility courses that test their speed and skill over jumps and obstacles. Both the Rabbit and Rabbit Hopping competitions are self-administered by the Rabbit Fanciers Society of NSW Inc. and the Rabbit Hopping Association of Australia, reflecting growing community interest and participation in the sport.
