Established in 1946, the tournament is usually held in August, and since 1990 it always features local club Deportivo.
The trophy was named after Teresa Margarita Herrera y Pedrosa (1712–1791), a philanthropist born in A Coruña that dedicated her life to the poor, using her house as shelter for sick and poor women in the city.[1] In 1791 she founded the Hospital de la Caridad ("Charity Hospital"), specially dedicated to maternity and orphanage.[1][2]
History
First played in 1946, the competition originally began as a means to raise money for the poor of the city of A Coruña in Galicia, Northern Spain. The trophy is named in honour of an 18th-century local woman who was famed for her work with the region's poor.
The first match in 1946 was a game between Sevilla and Athletic Club; Sevilla won the match 3–2.[3]

Women's tournament
Since 2013 a women's football trophy is also held. Until 2016, when Deportivo La Coruña created its women's football section, the tournament was hosted by a local women's team.
The inaugural edition was contested by the two top local teams, second tier Victoria CF and third tier Orzán SD.[5]
In 2014 the match was played in Riazor for the first time, and it featured a foreign opponent, Boavista FC. A qualifier tournament for several local teams was arranged, which was won by defending champion Victoria. Boavista played with old Deportivo uniforms since their own were stolen.[6]
In 2015, Victoria again made it to the Trophy after beating Orzán on penalties,[7] but this time it suffered a crushing defeated against 3-times national champion Rayo Vallecano.[8]
