BOCHK Bauhinia Bowl

The Bank of China (Hong Kong) Bauhinia Bowl Award (中銀香港紫荊盃) is an annual award given by the Hong Kong Schools Sports Federation to member secondary schools of the Hong Kong Island and Kowloon Secondary Schools Regional Committee (HKSSRC). The award was established to encourage participation in inter-school sports competitions organised by the Regional Committee. In the 2018–19 season, 265 secondary schools with over 6,000 teams and 44,000 students participated in the 17 sporting competitions organised by the Regional Committee.

The BOCHK Bauhinia Bowl Award is sponsored by Bank of China (Hong Kong) Limited, previously by Omega. The trophy was previously known as the Omega Rose Bowl which dated back to 1965, but has been known as the BOCHK Bauhinia Bowl since the 2002–03 season.

Type of schools
The BOCHK Bauhinia Bowl Awards are awarded separately to boys' schools, girls' schools, and co-educational schools. They are divided into two sections.

The BOCHK Bauhinia Bowl trophies are awarded to schools achieving the best all-round performance from all sporting events organised by the Regional Committee during the year. A total of 10 trophies will be awarded each year: Champion, Second place, and Most Progressed for girls' and boys' schools, and the same with an extra third-place trophy for co-educational schools.

The BOCHK Bauhinia Bowl Sportsboy/Sportsgirl of the Year statuette trophies are awarded to individuals who have contributed greatly to school sport in general and shown outstanding sporting ability during the year, with consideration given to sporting behaviour, character, and commitment to sport. Trophies are given to the Sportsboy and Sportsgirl of the year from single-sex boys' and girls' schools, and from co-ed schools. Scholarships are awarded by Bank of China (Hong Kong).

In case of doubt in classifying a member school to one of the above categories because of a special situation, the Regional Committee makes the final decision on classification. However, schools concerned are welcomed to express their views to the Regional Committee either by letter or presence at a Committee Meeting for this purpose.
