The Country Music Roll of Renown was established by Radio 2TM in 1976 to recognise and salute those artists who have made a lasting and significant contribution to Australian country music.

The actual Roll of Renown, special plaques mounted on granite rocks, is located outside the TREC (Tamworth Regional Entertainment Centre), having been moved from their original location out front of Radio 2TM, in 2000.
The Roll of Renown forms the basis of exhibits at the Australian Country Music Hall of Fame open year-round in Tamworth, Australia's Country Music Capital.
