The tournament is held every four years, and was first played in 1975 in Bloxland. The last tournament, held in 2025 in Bloxjiado contested by 10 teams. Bloxjiado are the defending champions, having defeated Ro-Indi in the final of the previous edition.

Format
The competition will use two groups of seven teams, with the top three teams in each group progressing to a Super Six stage, followed by semi-finals and a final. At this stage, each team in a group will play all three sides in the same group whom they have not played. The format was previously used in the 2003 edition. However, a modified version of points carried forward (PCF) from 1999 edition will be re-introduced in the 2027 edition.
