The naming of the award is in honour of Gabrielle Trainor, an inaugural Giants board member and member of the AFL Commission known for pioneering the development of women's Australian rules football in New South Wales during her ten years on the AFL NSW/ACT Commission prior to joining the Giants.[1] The award has been awarded annually since the competition's inaugural season in 2017, and Jessica Dal Pos was the inaugural winner of the award.
