During this period, the teams have combined for two national championships (JMU in 2004 and 2016) and eleven conference championships (JMU in 1999, 2004, 2008, 2015, 2016, 2017; W&M in 1996, 2001, 2004, 2010, 2015). All of James Madison's home games have been hosted at Bridgeforth Stadium in Harrisonburg, Virginia while William & Mary has hosted its contests at Zable Stadium in Williamsburg, Virginia; as of 2019, no games have been played on a neutral field.
