The race was first run in 1997 and was awarded Grade 3 status in 2003.
In line with several races at Tipperary, the race is named after a horse owned by J. P. McManus, his Irish Champion Hurdle winning mare, Like-A-Butterfly. The race was previously named after another J. P. McManus owned horse, Grimes.
The race was sponsored for many years by the company owned by J. P. McManus's younger brother, Kevin McManus Bookmakers.
