The tournament that ushers in the Kenya Cup season was last played in 2019 with KCB Rugby winning the third successive floodlit title after a 23-9 win over Menengai Oilers.
Oilers were making their maiden appearance and had eliminated Kenya Harlequins and host Impala to get to the final.
In 2021 the tournament didn’t take place due to the ban on contact sports following the COVID-19 pandemic that hit the world. In 2021 it did not happen with teams resorting to facing off in friendlies ahead of the season.
