A National League in Mountain Bike Orienteering has been held since 2008. A series of events spread across at least 3 states constitutes the league each year.
There are competitions for individuals as well as state based teams.
In 2008 and 2009, the league was conducted in Open Elite and Junior (under 21) classes. In 2010 the competition was expanded to include Masters age classes - increasing the competition between states.

In each age division, the best five (5) results over the eight events for 2013 will be
counted for the individual age group competition. There is no limit to the number of
state competitors who may enter and score points in M21-E, W21-E, M-20E and W-20E
or in M/W 40-, 50-, 60-, 70-, 80-.
Team
Competition.
Contested among: Canberra Cockatoos, NSW Stingers, Queensland Storm, Southern
Arrows, Tasmanian Foresters, Victorian Nuggets and Western Nomads
The top two (2) rider’s times from a state in
each of the age division will be summed in the official ranking.
If only one state rider records a time, that state is ranked based on that
result alone – below those with two riders. After each event, points from each
of the elite/masters divisions will be summed to give the Australian MTBO
Series Team Scores.
