It is staged annually in October in Yongchuan District, Chongqing, China.

The Four Nations Tournament was held in Guangzhou annually before 2010.

When Guangzhou renounced to host the tournament due to celebrating the 2010 Asian Games, Yongchuan District of Chongqing was granted the hosting right by the Chinese Football Association (CFA).

In 2015, considering for better preparation for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup, CFA moved the tournament to Shenzhen, which was closer to China women's national football team's winter training base in Guangzhou.
