Abstract A tow ball coupling configured to engage with a tow ball mounted on a vehicle, said coupling adapted to allow a vehicle to transport and/or tow at least one item, said coupling comprising a ball housing with an open end such that the coupling may be placed above the ball and lowered onto the ball, said housing being of a suitable size to restrict lateral movement of the ball within the housing; a releasable ball catch adjacent said open end of the ball housing which catch is movable between a ball retaining condition which retains the ball within the housing by limiting vertical movement of the ball and a ball releasing condition; and a holder member for holding at least one item; wherein the housing and the catch are arranged such that relative movement of the coupling towards the ball displaces the catch to admit the ball to the housing without manual operation of the catch. 00) @0 LO&
