The origins of this race are firmly associated with colonial Sydney and the growth of thoroughbred racing in the colony during the 1840s and 1850s. The Australian Jockey Club initiated an autumn race meet which coincided with the Easter holiday period and created several races which exist even today. One of these races was the Queen's Plate in honour of Queen Victoria which was first run in 1851 over a distance of about 3 miles.

Through the early 20th century the race continued to hold its prestige, but with the decline in long distance racing, the AJC focused on the Sydney Cup as the premier long distance event of the AJC Autumn Carnival.{{cite web|url=http://www.horseracinginfo.com.au/autumn-racing/sydney-cup.php|title=Sydney Cup|access-date=18 April 2013|publisher=horseracinginfo.com (Australia)|year = 2012}} By the mid 1950s the race had changed its name and had its distance shortened. Distance was changed several times until today's distance of 2000 metres in 1986.

The ATC focused on the Queen Elizabeth Stakes as it became the {{AUD|4,000,000}} signature event of a new Sydney autumn racing series called "The Championships", attracting international entries.
