Berwick left some money to be given to the society to establish two prizes. His widow Daisy May Berwick gave the society the money and the society established the prizes, with the first Senior Berwick Prize being presented in 1946 and the first Junior Berwick Prize the following year. The prizes are awarded "in recognition of an outstanding piece of mathematical research ... published by the Society" in the eight years before the year of the award.

The Berwick Prize was known as the Junior Berwick Prize up to 1999, and was given its current name for the 2001 award.

The Berwick Prize is awarded biennially (every two years) in odd-numbered years, and the Junior Berwick Prize is awarded in even-numbered years.
