In 2023, the pilot competition was created as part of the Guam Football Association Competition Department's four-year plan. It was believed the competition would spark renewed interest in soccer and the island's leagues while increasing the bond between the two islands.[4] For the first edition of the championship, newly-formed Wings FC represented Guam while Eleven Tiger FC was Saipan's entrant.[5] Eleven Tiger went on to win the match 2–1 with goals from Tanapon Unsa and Sunjoon Tenorio. Yvan Tcheugoue scored for Wings FC.[6]
