context_page_description: The Cordner–Eggleston Cup is the current name of a historic private school Australian rules football competition which has been played annually between Melbourne Grammar School and the Scotch College since 1858.
  The first football fixture was played under experimental rules on 7 August 1858 at Yarra Park, Melbourne giving the Cup a claim to being the longest continuously running football competition in the world. It is also of cultural importance to Australia, as it is the best documented early football match in Australia and is believed by many historians to have played a key role in the Origins of Australian football. The first match is commemorated by a bronze statue depicting the game outside the MCG.
  The 150th anniversary of the cup was celebrated by the match being played at the famous Melbourne Cricket Ground, where most notable football matches are played, including the Grand Final of the Australian Football League, the senior competition of Australian Rules.
