History

The Intercontinental Cup was established in 1985 and was organized by FIRS.

In 2006, the then-CIRH (Comité Internationale de Rink-Hockey) tried to establish a World Club Championship, but that competition was quickly discontinued in favor of the Intercontinental Cup.

In 2017, the Fédération Internationale de Roller Sports (FIRS) merged with the International Skateboarding Federation (ISF) to form World Skate, which organized the 2017 Intercontinental Cup played in a Final Four format by the 2016 and 2017 CERH European League champions, Benfica and Reus, and the 2016 and 2017 CSP South American Club Championship/CPP Pan-American Club Championship winners, Andes Talleres and Concepción, with Benfica facing Andes Talleres and Reus facing Concepción.

In 2018, the World Skate created the women's tournament, played in a Final Four formats by the four finalists of Europe and America.

In 2021, the Intercontinental Cup was disputed by the European champions Sporting and the runners-up FC Porto on a two-legged tie.

For the 2022 edition, FIRS struggled to find hosts to organize the edition. Valongo was the only team that offered to host the competition. FIRS could not get positive answers from South American teams and 2022 was disputed on 17 June 2023 in a single match between 2022 European League finalists. ^{[1] [2] [3]}
