Played on New Year's Day except in 1939 and 1950, the Pineapple Bowl succeeded the Poi Bowl. The inaugural game was played in 1939 and the last game was played in 1952. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the bowl game was suspended for five years. The game featured the Hawaii Rainbows and an invited team from the mainland.

The University of Hawaii attempted to revive the bowl game in 1980, but the NCAA Special Events Committee turned down their request. However, the Aloha Bowl was created in 1982.
Plus-One system The Plus-One system is a method of determining the National Champion in the Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly Division I-A) of NCAA football in the United States where the participants National Championship Game are dependent on the results of at least two bowl games. The format can take on the form of a 4-team playoff, where two bowl games act as semi-final games, and the winners of these games participate in the National Championship Game. Alternatively, the participants of the National Championship Game can be chosen after the conclusion of the normal bowl season; in this situation, there are no semi-final games, and the top two teams would be ranked based on the outcomes of the bowl games.
