List of Australian Test cricket umpires

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of those people who have umpired at least one Test match in Australia between Australia and other Test cricket nations. The list is arranged in the order in which each umpire officiated in his first Test.

From the first Test match in March 1877 until 1994, the home nation appointed both umpires. From 1994 to 2002, one umpire was appointed by the home nation, and the other came from a non-participating nation. Since 2002 both umpires have been appointed from non-participating nations, by the International Cricket Council.
