The Halberg Awards are a set of awards, given annually since 1949, recognising New Zealand's top sporting achievements. They are named for New Zealand middle-distance runner and Olympic gold medalist Sir Murray Halberg. The initial award was handed out in 1949, and continued until 1960 under the auspices of the NZ Sportsman magazine. Since 1963, the awards have been organised by the Halberg Disability Sport Foundation, and the number of award categories has grown to eight.

History

The annual award was started in 1949 by NZ Sportsman magazine founders Maurice O’Connor and Jack Fairbairn. The award was designed by them and bought from Walker and Hall for £195 NZ. The original inscription on the trophy was Fairburn and O’Connors words: "The New Zealand Sportsman's Trophy to be awarded annually to the New Zealand athlete whose personal performances or example, has had the most beneficial effect on the advancement of sport in the country". Awarding of the New Zealand Sportsman's Trophy ceased along with publication of NZ Sportsman in 1960.

After a two-year hiatus, Murray Halberg revived the event in 1963 through the Halberg Disability Sport Foundation. The rules were altered in 1971 to allow teams to win the award, which that year went to the New Zealand eight.{{cite journal |last1=Jillings |first1=Kasia |title=Eric Murray & Gary Robertson: Our oarsome double |journal=New Idea |date=21 March 2013 |url= https://nz.lifestyle.yahoo.com/life/a/16415112/eric-murray-gary-robertson-our-oarsome-double/#page1 |access-date=23 October 2016 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161024031010/https://nz.lifestyle.yahoo.com/life/a/16415112/eric-murray-gary-robertson-our-oarsome-double/#page1 |archive-date=24 October 2016 }}

The Awards are presented at a dinner which traditionally rotates between the New Zealand cities of Dunedin, Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland, and which in recent years has been broadcast live on television. Over time, the award was expanded to include New Zealand Sportswoman of the year, New Zealand Team of the year, Sky Sport Coach of the year, Emerging Talent and Halberg Disability Sport Foundation Disabled Sportsperson of the Year awards, as well as the Lion Foundation Lifetime Achievement Award, the Sport New Zealand Leadership Award and an award for New Zealand's Favourite Sporting Moment. The award was eventually renamed in Murray Halberg's honour, and since then the supreme award has been known as the Halberg award.

The Awards help the Halberg Disability Sport Foundation to raise funds, which are then used to enhance the lives of physically disabled young people, their families and communities, by enabling them to participate in sport.

The awards for 2019 were held on 13 February 2020, prior to COVID-19 pandemic halting large events.{{cite news |last1=Lewis |first1=Brad |title=Live Updates: 2020 Halberg Awards |url= https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/sport/2020/02/live-updates-2020-halberg-awards.html |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20210305220430/https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/sport/2020/02/live-updates-2020-halberg-awards.html |url-status= dead |archive-date= 5 March 2021 |access-date=15 February 2021 |work=Newshub |date=13 February 2020}} With international sporting events during 2020 affected by COVID-19 pandemic, it was decided to award a decade championship at the 2021 ceremony.

Winners

=Supreme Award=

The annual award was started in 1949 by NZ Sportsman magazine founders Jack Fairburn and Maurice O’Connor to be awarded annually to the New Zealand athlete whose personal performances or example have had the most beneficial effect on the advancement of sport in New Zealand, as selected by a team of national sporting journalists. The title was "Sportsman of the Year Award" which was awarded annually until 1960 and was discontinued until 1963 when a charity set up by the 1958 winner, Murray Halberg, continued the event from 1963 onwards. The Halberg Disability Sport Foundation renamed the award in 1987 to the Halberg Award, and started having gender-specific awards, introducing the Supreme Award as a new category chosen from all other award categories.{{cite web |url= http://www.halbergawards.co.nz/about/history/ |title= Halberg Awards history |publisher= Halberg Disability Sport Foundation |access-date= 10 February 2017 |archive-date= 15 February 2017 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20170215004403/http://www.halbergawards.co.nz/about/history/ |url-status= dead }}

Hence, the table below shows the (gender-neutral) Sportsman of the Year Award winners as determined by NZ Sportsman (1949–1960), the Sportsman of the Year Award winners as determined by the Halberg Disability Sport Foundation (1963–1986), and the Halberg Award from 1987 onwards.
