The team roster is filled on an invitational basis. 15 teams of 7 riders will be invited to contest the 2009 race. Each team is supported by up to 5 management staff including the Team Manager, Team Mechanic and Team Soigneur.

In accordance with UCI regulations, only UCI pro, pro-continental, continental and national teams are able to take part in a 2.1 stage race.

The list of competing teams along with profiles of riders will be posted on the website as they’re announced by the Herald Sun. The full list will appear in a 16-page lift out in the Herald Sun in October.
