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. They faced Unirea Urziceni, the Liga I runners-up.[2]

The most successful performers so far have been FCSB[note 1] and Rapid București, with 6 and 4 wins respectively.

Sponsorship

On July 22, 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.[3]

On October 9, 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.[4][5]

gollark: Btw, I use Arch Linux.
gollark: If it's open source could you not just... edit the code and recompile it?
gollark: Though yes, there are things around for meddling with games' memory already I think.
gollark: That seems like a different thing. You probably want to hire a programmer somehow.
