[2][3] The UE Red Warriors won the third edition of the tournament in 2008, followed by the FEU Tamaraws in 2009, the San Sebastian Stags in 2010,[4] the Ateneo Blue Eagles in 2011, and the NU Bulldogs in 2012.

UE would reclaim the title in 2013 before starting a period from 2014 through 2019 where five of the six tournaments held were won by either De La Salle or the San Beda Red Lions.

De La Salle claimed their fourth in 2016, the most out of any school, while San Beda won three in five years.

[7][8] In 2024, it was announced that the 17th edition of the tournament would be named after Eduardo Cojuangco Jr., renaming it as the ECJ Preseason Cup.

The UP Fighting Maroons would win both the 2023 and 2024 editions, making them just the second back-to-back Preseason Cup champions.
