Though the teams first played in 1912, they only played six times until the rivalry ended in 1924, not to be renewed for another 70 years. The rivalry resumed in 1994 with a new Governor 's Cup trophy, which has been awarded every year since. The series is currently tied at 15 -- 15, although Louisville leads the modern series 15 to 9. Louisville had a five - game winning streak in the series from 2011 to 2015. From 1994 to 2006 the annual matchup was always played in the opening weekend of the college football season. In 2007, the game was moved to the third game of the season when played in Lexington but remained the first game when played in Louisville. Starting in 2014, which marked Louisville 's inaugural season in the Atlantic Coast Conference, the Governor 's Cup became the last game of the regular season for both teams on Thanksgiving weekend, to coincide with several other ACC - SEC same - state rivalries. With the bitterness that each team 's fans bases has against each other, and with the rivalry win - loss spread being even, this rivalry will continue into the next decade as both schools agreed to advance the rivalry into the 2022 college football season. As Louisville and Kentucky both having recent renovations to each of their football stadiums, three of the games being at Cardinal Stadium in Louisville, KY and three of the games being at Kroger Field in Lexington, KY.
