History

Historical Context

Since a 5-5 tie in 1900, the University of Washington and Washington State University have met annually as the Apple Cup, a rivalry that survived wartime gaps and a 2020 COVID cancellation. The bronze shield trophy, donated by Governor Clarence D. Martin in 1963, cemented the name, while the 2006 season-length change shifted the game from Thanksgiving weekend to later dates.
