The competition started off in 1994, with the first edition being won by Steaua București. In 2010, for the first time in its history, the Supercup was held even though CFR Cluj had been victorious in both the league and the cup in the previous season. At that time, they faced Unirea Urziceni, the Liga I runners-up.[1]

The most successful performer so far has been FCSB with 6 wins,[note 1] followed by Rapid București and CFR Cluj with 4 wins each up until 2021.

Sponsorship

On 22 July 2005, FRF and Samsung Electronics signed a one-year sponsorship deal. The name of the competition was changed to Supercupa României Samsung for the 2005 and 2006 editions.[2]

On 9 October 2006, FRF and Ursus Breweries (part of the SABMiller group) signed a sponsorship agreement for the next three seasons. Ursus Breweries changed the name of the competition to Supercupa României Timișoreana, after the Timișoreana beer brand.[3][4]

Notes
  1. UEFA and LPF attribute the historic Steaua București records and honours up to 2003 to FCSB. The CSA Steaua București sports club, which refounded their football department in 2017, also asserts the ownership of the four Supercupa României trophies won during that period—This would leave FCSB with only two titles.
