The competition was founded by Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi in memory of his father Luigi, and it was originally intended to be contested by the Rossoneri and former European Cup winners; in the first edition which took place on 23 August 1991; they faced Juventus. The match was won by Juventus 2–1.

Over the next three years, Milan played against Internazionale, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich respectively, winning all three times. Between 1995 and 2012 the "Berlusconi" was contested exclusively between Milan and Juventus. In the 19 times Milan and Juventus have played each other, Juventus holds a 10–9 edge.

Due to scheduling conflicts no game was played in 2013. The game returned in 2014 with the 23rd edition; it was scheduled in November, but was not played against Juventus, but an Argentinian team, San Lorenzo: Milan won the game 2–0 to earn its 13th trophy. The 24th edition was played between Milan and Internazionale in 2015, won by Inter 1–0. In 2021, the tournament was restored and, for the first time in its history, did not involve Milan. The match was played between Monza and Juventus.

This remains the last edition of the tournament, which starting from 2023, given the death of Silvio Berlusconi, was de facto replaced by the Trofeo Silvio Berlusconi.
