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.
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.
In 2015, Victoria again made it to the Trophy after beating Orzán on penalties, but this time it suffered a crushing defeated against 3-times national champion Rayo Vallecano.
