The Oahu Classic is a now defunct National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I-A college football bowl game played in Honolulu, Hawaii at Aloha Stadium. Played on Christmas Day or Christmas Eve, the Oahu Bowl was sponsored by Jeep motor company. The inaugural game was played in 1998 and the last game was played in 2000, after it lost its sponsorship as a result of a corporate merger between Jeep and DaimlerChrysler. The Oahu Classic was part of a double-header played after the Aloha Classic on Christmas its first two years; the 2000 game was played on Christmas Eve.

In 2001, the Oahu Classic became the Seattle Bowl and played two games before losing NCAA certification. The Aloha Classic, scheduled to move to San Francisco at the same time, lost certification before it could play a game. [1] [2]
