The Norwegian Athletics Championships (Norwegian: Norgesmesterskapet i friidrett) is an annual outdoor track and field competition organised by the Norwegian Athletics Association, which serves as the national championship for the sport in Norway. Royal trophies (Kongepokal) are given to the most outstanding male and female athletes of the competition.[1]
Typically organised in July, the event was first held in 1896 and introduced the first events for women in 1947. The championships was not held between 1940–45 due to World War II. Separate annual championship events are held for the 10,000 metres, relay races, combined track and field events, cross country running, mountain running and the road running and racewalking events. There is also a Norwegian Indoor Athletics Championships.[2]
