The Inter Dominion is a harness racing competition that has been contested since 1936 in Australia and New Zealand.

It is often referred to as the Inter Dominions or Interdoms for short as it generally encompasses two series:

• the Inter Dominion Pacing Championship for pacers and
• the Inter Dominion Trotting Championship for trotters.

The host of the series was rotated between the six harness racing states of Australia and the North and South Islands of New Zealand. The first Inter Dominion was held at Gloucester Park in Perth, Western Australia in 1936.^[1]

The 2011 series was held at Alexandra Park in Auckland, with the original venue of Addington in Christchurch deemed unsuitable due to the February 2011 Christchurch earthquake. The 2013, 2014 and 2015 series were held at the new Menangle Park Paceway at Menangle a village in the Macarthur region of New South Wales, Australia near Sydney. This was the first time a venue has hosted the event in three consecutive years.^[2]
