History

In 1962 the tournament was first held as Trofeo Costa Verde. So it was 30 years until its 28th edition in 1992. After a year break, the trophy was continued under the name Trofeo Villa de Gijón.

The tournament was not played also in the years 1971, 1981 and 2009 due to construction work at the stadium and in 1987, when instead the farewell game for Enrique Castro González, a legendary striker of Sporting Gijon took place.
