Since 2019, both the boys' and girls' tournaments takes place over four days at downtown Lexington's Rupp Arena.
After 1923 the tournament continued in Lexington but moved to the new Alumni Gymnasium on UK's campus which had become the new venue for the university's basketball teams, where it stayed from 1924 until 1944.
Once construction was complete on Freedom Hall in Louisville, the 1957 tournament was held there and returned in odd-numbered years.
The opening of Rupp Arena in 1979 led to the tournament's return to Lexington, where it remains to the present day.
