The Hong Kong–Shanghai Inter Club Championship (Chinese: 滬港球會盃) was an annual football challenge match between two clubs representing Hong Kong and Shanghai.
[1] It was held 21 times in 40 years involving representative teams from the Hong Kong and Shanghai areas.
Early editions were played exclusively among the many European expatriates based in the busy port cities.
[2] After 1948, the cup was not played for again until its reestablishment in 1987, and a match was then held consecutively for another 15 years until 2002, when it halted again for various reasons, including the outbreak of SARS.
However, it is unclear whether the 2005 or 2006 version is regarded as the first staging of Hong Kong–Shanghai Inter Club Championship.
