The Sheraton Hawaii Bowl is a post-season National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I-A college football bowl game that has been played annually at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaii on the island of Oahu since 2002. Played on either Christmas Day or Christmas Eve, the game matches teams from either Conference USA or Pac-10 vs. the Western Athletic Conference member schools. In its first year, the Hawaii Bowl was sponsored by ConAgra Foods. The following year, Sheraton Hotels and Resorts Hawaii assumed sponsorship which it continues to hold today.
The game succeeded the Aloha Bowl (played 1982-2000) and the Oahu Bowl (played 1998-2000).
As part of the agreement with the WAC, a "Hawaii guarantee" allows the University of Hawaii a bid in the Hawaii Bowl regardless of its standings in the WAC, provided it is bowl eligible. This was not invoked as the Warriors had a losing record in 2005, and Nevada took Hawaii's place.
