The competition has existed in various formats, with the exact name of the league depending on the sponsor.

For instance, the Danish League Cup was named Carlsberg Grand Prix in 1984, where Brøndby IF won the trophy.

While the name changed to Spar Cup in 1996, where FC Copenhagen won the trophy.

The last time the League Cup was organised as an official tournament was apparently in 1996.

The Tele2 LigaCup also had a limited representation of clubs, as the format was just a round-robin tournament between the top 3 finishers of the Danish Superliga.
