The 2015 Australian Formula 3 Championship was an Australian motor racing competition for cars constructed in accordance with FIA Formula 3 regulations. It was sanctioned by the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport (CAMS) as a National Championship, with Formula 3 Management Pty Ltd appointed as the Category Manager. The Championship began on the 27th of March at Sandown Raceway and ended on the 18th of October at Wakefield Park after seven rounds across three states. The title, which was the 15th Australian Formula 3 Championship, was won by Ricky Capo.
CAMS removed the Gold Star award from the Australian Formula 3 Championship for 2015. The move ended a 58-year tradition, the award being the third oldest continually awarded CAMS title after the Australian Grand Prix and Australian Hillclimb Championship.
The Championship was contested over a seven round series.
Note:
Mount Panorama was removed from the calendar after being included for the last three years.
Hidden Valley was removed from the calendar after being included for the last four years
The results for each round of the Championship were determined by the results of the final race of the round.
The Kumho Cup was contested only at Rounds 1,4,5 and 7.
