As three-time winner of the men's event (1991, 1992, 1995), Australia has a strong history of success at the Chiba Ekiden Relays. Since the introduction of the revised format in 2007, when the race became a mixed gender event with a single title up for grabs, Australia has placed seventh on three occasions (2007, 2009, 2010), and scored its highest finish to date in 2008 when it crossed the line in fifth.
