The Cyprus International Football Tournament was an annual winter association football friendly competition for national teams that takes place in Cyprus. It was traditionally held in February as a friendly tournament since at least 1997, and last played in 2011. [1] The 2006 tournament was played in two parallel groups.
Of various matches played in February 1995 and 1996 it is not clear whether they were part of a tournament or not (most likely they were just a collection of unrelated friendlies). [1]
