1976–1991
On 18 September 1976, the first Radio New Zealand National Championship was decided when Bay of Plenty defeated Hawke's Bay and Manawatu lost to Marlborough. Both Bay of Plenty and Manawatu entered those matches tied at the top of the table with fifteen points. Despite some unions having additional matches left, Bay of Plenty's victory brought their total to seventeen points, securing their position as champions.[1]

1992–2005
Finals were introduced for the first time during the 1992 season of the National Provincial Championship. Waikato emerged as the inaugural finals winners, marking their first victory in the competition since its inception in 1976. After finishing the qualifying round in fourth place, they decisively defeated top qualifier Auckland in the semifinal and then triumphed over defending champion Otago in front of 30,000 spectators at Rugby Park in Hamilton.[2]

2006–present
After the 2003 Rugby World Cup, the New Zealand Rugby Union conducted a review of its competitions, leading to talks about a new format. It was ultimately decided that thirteen provincial unions, along with the newly established Tasman, would form part of the revamped premier division, which would be renamed the Air New Zealand Cup. The other unions would continue to operate within the Heartland Championship, eliminating the second and third divisions that had been introduced in 1985.[3]
Waikato secured its first title since 1992 by winning the inaugural Air New Zealand Cup. Under the guidance of coach Warren Gatland, they defeated Wellington in front of a capacity crowd of 25,000 at Waikato Stadium in Hamilton.[4]
