The only reference provided here gives a passing mention of "the Bottle Cup", a hockey competition, not "the Bottle Match", a rugby competition. A search on Google books turns up only one book discussing this match, and that book was published by the Imperial College Press (which might not be independent from the subject matter). While I do not disagree that the match is old, age alone does not qualify this match as notable. Article lacks substantive discussion in independent reliable verifiable secondary sources, and existence alone does not normally equal to notability.

Comment Based on
WP:NRIVALRY it appears that
WP:GNG is the relevant guideline. The source in the article:
[1] about hockey is is not really off-topic. The 2nd paragraph in the lead mentioned the mix of sports that began in 2006. There are other sources although some are not independent:
[2][3][4][5][6][7] It seems reasonable to assume there is much more coverage not online given that this series began in 1902. I'm undecided atm.
