The series was pre-arranged between the two leagues before the season after post-season exhibitions held in their previous seasons. The last challenge, in 1914, was the inauguration of the first "World Series" of ice hockey, a series between the Stanley Cup and league champion Toronto Hockey Club of the National Hockey Association (NHA) and the Victoria Aristocrats, champions of the Pacific Coast Hockey Association (PCHA). After 1912, the trustees ordered that challenges only take place after all league games were completed. Until 1912, these challenges could take place before or during a league season. The team then had to defend its champion-title both through league championships and challenge games organised by the Stanley Cup trustees. The Stanley Cup was first awarded to the Montreal Hockey Club in 1893 when the team won the 1893 AHAC season. Western champions have won 21 times, while the Eastern champions have won 19 times. Starting in 1982, the championship round of the NHL's playoffs has been a best-of-seven series played between the champions of the Eastern and Western Conferences. After a series of league mergers and folds, it became the championship trophy of the National Hockey League (NHL) in 1926. Starting in 1915, the Cup was officially held between the champion of the National Hockey Association (NHA) and the champion of the Pacific Coast Hockey Association (PCHA).

Professional teams first became eligible to challenge for the Stanley Cup in 1906. The champions held onto the Cup until they either lost their league title to another club, or a champion from another league issued a formal challenge and defeated the reigning Cup champion in a final game to claim their win. Originally inscribed the Dominion Hockey Challenge Cup, the trophy was donated in 1892 by Lord Stanley of Preston, then– Governor General of Canada, initially as a " challenge trophy" for Canada's top-ranking amateur ice hockey club. The Stanley Cup Finals in ice hockey (also known as the Stanley Cup Final among various media, French: Finale de la Coupe Stanley) is the National Hockey League's (NHL) championship series to determine the winner of the Stanley Cup, North America's oldest professional sports trophy. The Stanley Cup is awarded to the winner of the championship series.
