The 1965 Annual General Meeting of the Federation decided to institute a tournament in which the basic team composition was required to be two men and two women.
From 1965 to 1976 each district was required to find, by competition, two teams to represent represent them at zone finals (New Zealand was divided into nine zones). The North Island zone winners then played off to find a North Island winner; a process repeated in the South Island. The national final was then contested between the island winners.
In 1977, the island competition was eliminated, districts were required to find an outright winner, and all nine zone winners were brought to the national final to play a round-robin tournament. This format is used today with the number of zones now being eight.
From 1965 to 1979 this event was sponsored by Rothmans, and by the Bank of New Zealand from 1982 to 1985.
