The 1987 Australian Manufacturers' Championship was a CAMS sanctioned motor racing title for car manufacturers.
[1] The title, which was the seventeenth Australian Manufacturers' Championship,[2] was contested concurrently with the 1987 Australian Touring Car Championship over a nine-round series.
[3] Each round was open to cars complying with CAMS Touring Car regulations which were based on international Group A Touring Car rules.
Cars competed in two engine capacity classes: Championship points were awarded on a 20–15–12–10–8–6–4–3–2–1 basis for the top ten placings in each class at each round.
However, points were only allocated for the best placed car from each manufacturer at each round[4] and only the best eight round results could be retained by each manufacturer.
