The first major international debating competition between universities was the Trans-Atlantic University Speech Association Tournament TAUSA which was held in London in 1976. University teams from the United States, Canada, England, and Scotland gathered to debate in English.
Two years later, in 1978, university teams from the United States, England, Scotland and New Zealand traveled to Melbourne and Sydney for a series of debating competitions.
