The game was the first of two on the holiday when it started, but due to the scrapping of Monday night football it is now the centrepiece event on the King's Birthday Holiday.

The game is the centrepiece of the long weekend's big lineup each year.

In 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the match was moved to Bankwest Stadium and played behind closed doors.
