The Teresa Herrera Trophy (Spanish: Trofeo Teresa Herrera) is an annual pre-season football tournament hosted by Deportivo La Coruña at the Estadio Riazor.
Established in 1946, it is the third oldest professional football tournament in Spain - behind the Trofeo Playa y Sol (1901) and the Copa San Pedro (1941) - and is considered one of Spain's most prestigious friendly tournaments due to the high profile and quality of the clubs who take part. The matches are played at Estadio Riazor during the second half of August, and the tournament always features home side Deportivo La Coruña.
History
First played in 1946, the competition originally began as a means to raise money for the poor of the city of A Coruña in Galicia, Northern Spain; the trophy is named in honour of an 18th-century local woman who was famed for her work with the region's poor.
The first match in 1946 was a game between Sevilla and Athletic Club, Sevilla won the match 3–2.

Women's tournament
Since 2013 a women's football trophy is also held. Since Deportivo La Coruña doesn't have a women's football section the tournament is hosted by a local women's team.
The inaugural edition was contested by the two top local teams, 2nd tier Victoria CF and 3rd tier Orzán SD.[1]
In 2014 the match was played in Riazor for the first time, and it featured a foreign opponent, Boavista FC. A qualifier tournament for several local teams was arranged, which was won by defending champion Victoria. Boavista played with old Deportivo uniforms since their own were stolen.[2]
In 2015 2-times champion Victoria again made it to the Trophy after beating Orzán on penalties,[3] but this time it suffered a crushing defeated against 3-times national champion Rayo Vallecano.[4]
