The format was a single-elimination tournament[2] and the first editions (1944 and 1945) allowed four semifinalist teams to play the "Copa de la República".[3][4] The fourth edition was abandoned in the first stage and therefore the Argentine Football Association declared there was not a champion.[5]
The trophy was named after King George VI and donated by the ambassador of the United Kingdom in Argentina.[6]
