The first women's rugby union championship was held in November 1998. The tournament features eight teams playing in a single-elimination format, which takes place over four days and features 11 games at a single, predetermined host site. The trophy was donated by Monilex Sports, the official Canadian distributor of Gilbert Rugby balls. The 2020 championship tournament was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
