History

The championship was first contested after the 1971–72 season following the creation of the Ontario Women's Interuniversity Athletic Association (OWIAA) in June 1971. [1] The championship was renamed the Quigley Cup in February 2018, after Therese Quigley, who was a former volleyball player and coach as well as the director of athletics for McMaster University and the University of Western Ontario. [1] [2]

From 1997 to 2020, the championship semi-finals and finals were played at the same site on the same weekend. After the 2020–21 season and Quigley Cup championship were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the OUA announced that the semi-finals and finals would take place on different weekends for the 2021–22 season. [3] [4] The format was retained for the 2022–23 season onward, where the higher-seeded team would host the championship game. [5]
