. The yearly contest is tied for fourth most occurrences, currently standing at 119 times. Played nearly continuously since 1898, there have only been three years that the game did not occur: 1900, 1902 and 1943. The game had until recently been dubbed the I-64 Bowl, from 1984 though 2008. Beginning in 2009, however, the game was officially renamed the Capital Cup, for which a new trophy was created. The Capital Cup name was chosen to honor the entire 119-game history of the rivalry between the two schools and the status of the two cities as the two historical capitals of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The match is typically played as the final regular season game for both teams, but for many years used to be played on Thanksgiving Day.

The November 21, 2009 game marked the 119th meeting between the schools. The 13–10 Richmond win placed the all-time record at 59–55–5, remaining in favor of William & Mary. The Richmond Spiders won this inaugural Capital Cup by a final score of 13–10, simultaneously giving Richmond a share of the Colonial Athletic Association
