The Australian Cyclist of the Year has been recognized in a total of 20 categories since 1997, broken down by gender, discipline and age group. There is also an audience award, a coach award, an award for the state with the best achievements in the field of cycling, and a club award.

The highest award is the Sir Hubert Opperman Trophy & Medal , or Oppy Award for short , for Australia's "Cyclist of the Year" in all categories. It is named after the racing driver Hubert Opperman and has been awarded since 1958. Until 1995 the award was given to the cyclist who had delivered the "Race of the Year". Since then, the award has been given to the athlete who has achieved an outstanding overall performance. The jury is made up of personalities chosen by the Board of Directors of the Australian Cycling Federation, Cycling Australia .

By 2013, Cadel Evans received the Oppy Award four times and is the most frequently honored cyclist.
