Kejuaraan ini pertama kali dicetuskan oleh salah satu majalah olah raga Perancis. Trofi berbentuk piala yang dijuluki “The Big Ears” (Telinga Besar). Format dan namanya kemudian diganti pada musim 1992/93. Mulai saat itu, kejuaraan mempunyai tiga babak kualifikasi, satu babak kompetisi grup (tim-tim bermain dalam bentuk “tandang-kandang” seperti kompetisi reguler), dan kemudian empat babak final dengan sistem gugur. Semua babak kualifikasi dan pertandingan dengan sistem gugur dilangsungkan dengan dua leg, kecuali pertandingan final yang merupakan pertandingan tunggal yang diselenggarakan di sebuah tempat yang telah ditentukan oleh UEFA.
