The Dixie Rotary Bowl was a college football bowl game initiated by the Rotary Club of St. George, Utah, and first played in 1986 at Greater Zion Stadium, the home field of Utah Tech University's predecessor institution, Dixie State Junior College.

In 1999 and again in 2003, the bowl played host to the NJCAA national championship; ironically, these were two of the four times that Dixie State lost the game.

The NCAA gave Dixie State special permission to participate in the bowl while serving as a provisional Division II member during the 2006 and 2007 seasons.

In 2006, Dixie State received an automatic bid, facing the highest-ranked team in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC) not invited to the NCAA Division II football playoffs.

In 2003, the Dixie Rotary Bowl organizing committee received official sanction for the game to be the NJCAA National Football Championship.
