After the visit of the Canadian Lacrosse team in 1907, the sterling silver cup was presented to the Victorian Lacrosse Association for competition between the states, the donors being Mr Richard Garland, formerly a Canadian lacrosse champion and President of the Toronto Lacrosse Association, and Mr Andrew McHarg, both residents of Melbourne. The Carnival matches were then originated, the first taking place in 1910 in Adelaide.
The deaf lacrosse team from Adult Deaf and Dumb Centre in Jolimont played against Coburg in a pennant competition under Victorian Lacrosse Association (late 1920s). The first team of the Adult Deaf and Dumb club had been promoted to the senior section in 1924. This cinema newsreel was taken in Melbourne, Australia in the late 1920s.
In 1959 a USA team comprising a combined "Washington & Lee" and "Virginia" Universities played Australia at the MCG. The last time an International team visited Australia was a Canada team back in 1907.
