The first Autumn Gold Classic was held in 1978, and at the time only had a total purse of $10,500, with the winning team receiving $4,000. At the time, it had the largest purse for a women's curling tournament in Canada. Its main sponsor in 1978 was JoAnne's Fashions.[1]

The event began seeing international teams in 1987, thanks in part to the sport being added as a demonstration event at the 1988 Winter Olympics.[2]

The 1996 and 2000 events were qualifiers for the 1997[3] and 2001 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials respectively.

The 2001 event was the first televised tournament on the Women's World Curling Tour, with the semifinals and finals shown on WTSN.[4]

Between 2004 and 2018, the total prize money given out has been in excess of $50,000. In 2019, the purse was $44,000, with the winning team receiving $12,000.

The 2010 Classic saw the first non-Canadian team to win a Grand Slam of Curling event, the Wang Bingyu rink from China.
