What trophy is awarded to the Australian Open men's singles champion?

The trophy awarded to the Australian Open men's singles champion is the Norman Brookes Challenge Cup.

The cup is named after Sir Norman Brookes, one of Australia's pioneering tennis champions. Brookes won the Wimbledon men's singles title in 1907 and 1914, becoming the first player from outside Britain to win Wimbledon. He also captured the Australasian Championships, the forerunner of today's Australian Open, in 1911.

The trophy was renamed in Brookes's honour in 1934 and is presented as a perpetual trophy: winners' names are added to it rather than each champion permanently keeping the original. Champions receive a replica to commemorate their victory. The cup is associated specifically with the men's singles event at Melbourne's Australian Open.

The women's singles trophy is the Daphne Akhurst Memorial Cup, which is why these two names are often confused. The Davis Cup and Hopman Cup are team competitions, while the Musketeers' Trophy belongs to the French Open men's singles champion.
