The '''Copa Eva Duarte''' was a Spanish [[Association football|football]] tournament organized by the [[Royal Spanish Football Federation]] (RFEF) and contested by the winners of [[La Liga]] and the [[Copa del Rey|Copa del Generalísimo]].

==History==
In September 1940, a match with this format had the name of [[Copa de los Campeones de España|Copa de Campeones]]. It was not repeated until December 1945 when, due to the good relations with the [[Francoist Spain|Spanish military government]], the [[ambassador]] of Argentina offered a trophy called [[Copa de Oro Argentina]].<ref name=rsssf>[https://www.rsssf.org/tabless/spansupcuphist.html Spanish Supercup history] [[RSSSF]]</ref> Both these trophies were unofficial and were only played once.<ref name=rsssf/><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cuadernosdefutbol.com/2015/05/precedentes-no-oficiales-de-la-supercopa-de-espana/ |title=Precedentes no oficiales de la Supercopa de España - Cuadernos de Fútbol|website=cuadernosdefutbol.com|publisher=CIHEFE|language=es|date=1 May 2015|accessdate=17 March 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|author=Ricardo Uribarri|url=http://ctxt.es/es/20150319/deportes/616/F%C3%BAtbol-Atl%C3%A9tico-de-Madrid-Atleti-t%C3%ADtulos-colchoneros-historia-del-Atleti.htm|title=Los títulos olvidados del Atleti|website=ctxt.es|language=es|date=27 July 2018|accessdate=17 March 2024}}</ref>

In 1941 the [[:es:Copa Presidente FEF de 1941-47|Copa Presidente FEF]] was established as an official tournament founded and organized by the RFEF; however, it was also only contested once, and though 11 of the 12 matches in its mini-league format were played between April and May 1941, its last, decisive fixture was delayed until eventually taking place in September 1947.<ref>[http://www.cihefe.es/cuadernosdefutbol/2018/04/el-torneo-mas-largo-de-la-historia-del-futbol-espanol-la-copa-del-presidente-de-la-rfef-1941-47/ El Torneo más largo de la historia del fútbol español.

Also in 1947, the "Copa Eva Duarte de Perón" was established as an annual and official tournament founded and organized by the RFEF, as a tribute to Argentine president [[Juan Perón]] and his wife [[Eva Perón]]. It was played between September and December, usually as one-match finals. The trophy was the predecessor of the current [[Supercopa de España]], first held in 1982.<ref name=rsssf/>
