The men's and women's teams of these countries each compete annually for their respective cups on a Home-and-Away basis.

The three African Great Lakes countries of Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda have a long shared history of rugby.

For much of their history, they have relied on each other for club, inter-district, inter-territorial and international matches, as well as combining their resources to create a regional squad.

Kenya were unable to travel to play Uganda as organised due to commitments raised by the Combined Oxford and Cambridge Universities tour that year.

Kenya's relatively smooth transition to independence and trouble free ensuing years under President Jomo Kenyatta saw rugby continue to thrive in this country.

This is slated to be an annual three-way competition between Kenya, Uganda and Zimbabwe played on a home-and-away basis.

Rather than duplicate the fixture it has been decided that the pre-existing Elgon Cup games between Kenya and Uganda will take place within this new tournament.

Results for men's [2] and women's international rugby matches played between Kenya and Uganda are presented in the table below.
