The Football Association as recognition donated a silver trophy to be played on the model of the FA Cup.

This competition is now played on a knock-out basis between all the senior clubs in the Maltese and Gozitan football pyramids.

On 13 January 2011, the Malta Football Association decided to restructure the format of the trophy as from season 2011–12.

Following the success of the MFA League Anniversary Cup, where the then 21 teams of the Maltese four-tiered system participated in the competition, the MFA decided to include all the clubs of Maltese leagues, together with the clubs from the Gozo First Division and the Gozo Second Division.

The new trophy has been presented right before the match between England and Malta for the 2018 World Cup qualifiers.

Both the 2019–20 and the 2020–21 seasons of the trophy has been declared abandoned by the MFA due to the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
