The game was a football match between the winners and the runners-up of the previous season's Hong Kong First Division League.
The match was played in Hong Kong Stadium, on 17 August 2009.
The two opposing teams were 2008–09 Hong Kong First Division League winners South China and runners-up Kitchee.
Because of Typhoon Morakot, which was currently affecting Taiwan, a part of the ticket revenue was donated to two charities, the Hong Kong Red Cross and United Christian Hospital.
The game was won by Kitchee with a 2–0 victory over South China.
