Australian Open-mesterskabet i herredouble er en tennisturnering, der afholdes én gang årligt som en del af Australian Open. Turneringen er siden 1988 blevet afviklet i Melbourne Park i Melbourne, Australien, hvor kampene spilles på hardcourt-baner af typen GreenSet. Australian Open spilles over to uger fra midten af januar og er den første af de fire grand slam-turneringer i kalenderåret.

Mesterskabet blev spillet første gang i 1905 under navnet Australasian Championships (Australasiatiske mesterskaber). I 1927 ændredes navnet til Australian Championships. Ved begyndelsen af den åbne æra, hvor professionelle spillere også fik lov at deltage, ændredes navnet til Australian Open (Australske mesterskaber). Mesterskabet blev ikke spillet i perioden 1916-18 på grund af første verdenskrig og i 1940-45 på grund af anden verdenskrig.

Turneringens termin er blevet ændret flere gange. I 1977 blev den flyttet fra januar til december, hvilket medførte to turneringer i 1977: en i januar og en i december. Og udgaven, der var planlagt afholdt i december 1986, blev flyttet til januar 1987, og derfor blev der ikke spillet Australian Open i kalenderåret 1986.

Historie

Australian Open er blevet spillet i flere forskellige byer: Christchurch og Hastings i New Zealand, samt Perth, Brisbane, Adelaide, Sydney og Melbourne i Australien. Begivenheden blev afholdt i en ny by hvert år, indtil Melbourne blev valgt som fast værtsby fra og med 1972, hvorefter turneringen hvert år blev spillet i Kooyong Lawn Tennis Club, indtil den flyttede til Melbourne Park i 1988.

Indtil 1988 var turneringen udelukkende blevet spillet på græsbaner, men i forbindelse med flytningen fra Kooyong til Melbourne Park blev turneringens underlag skiftet til hardcourt-typen Rebound Ace. I 2008 skiftede man imidlertid til en ny hardcourt-type: Plexicushion.
