The trophy was donated to the Ulster Hockey Union of the Irish Hockey Association by Mr T N Anderson as a memorial for his brother Captain J G Anderson MC.
Captain Anderson was a prominent member of the Banbridge Hockey Club and Irish International player who was killed whilst serving in the Royal Army Medical Corps in World War I.
One of the conditions requested by the donor was that the Final should be played at the ground of Banbridge Hockey Club.
The Ulster Hockey Union agreed to this condition except for when Banbridge was one of the Finalists.
Played in the second half of the season, all Ulster Premier League teams take part.
