The Adidas Cup was created in 1992 as regular cup competition to run alongside the Korean League Cup.

The format for the tournament varied, from a straight league system with the top team picking up the trophy to two groups with semi-finals and even a straight knock-out competition.

The Adidas Cup' was dropped from the Korean league season for 2003 as the K-League expanded to 12 clubs and implemented a mammoth 44 game season.
