History

The first competition was held in 1999. In the early years, there were four clubs, in 2008, it risen to six and in 2009, it became seven. In 2015, its club total is nine equaling to that of the regional championships. Some people thought that the opening tournament tended its competitions in 2015 as the Santo Antão Cup was revived in late 2015 and earlier in 2014, the creation of the Paul and Ribeira Grande local tournaments lead to the elimination of the opening tournament. Also that year, its opening tournament competitions was thought to be eliminated in the island's South Zone. It was not held due to scheduling concerns partly with the single island cup competitions. The next edition started in November 2017.
