The 1980 Australian Formula 2 Championship was a CAMS sanctioned motor sport title for drivers of cars complying with Australian Formula 2 regulations.[1] The championship was contested over a four-round series with Round 2 held as a single race and all other rounds staged over two races.[2]

Championship points were awarded on a 9-6-4-3-2-1 basis to the top six placegetters at each round. For those rounds at which two races were held, round placings were determined by awarding round points on a 20-16-13-11-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis to the top 14 finishers in each race.[3]
