Since 2007 the women's teams have also contested the cup.Tobietta Rhyman (26 July 2011). [http://www.worldfootynews.com/article.php/20110725172222975 "WIC11 Preview - Northern Li\ghts to sparkle"]. World Footy News.Nick Faris (1 August 2017). [https://nationalpost.com/sports/how-canada-became-an-unlikely-powerhouse-in-womens-australian-rules-football "How Canada became an unlikely powerhouse in women's Australian rules football"]. National Post.

The men's matches are contested between the United States men's team ("The Revolution") and Canada's men's team ("The Northwind") while the women's matches are contested between the United States women's team ("The Freedom") and Canada's women's team ("The Northern Lights").

The cup is historically paused during the Australian Football International Cup year to enable the countries to compete at that tournament. Between 2015 and 2021 the cup went into recess for several reasons, primarily due to the 2017 Australian Football International Cup followed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
