Real Madrid, Juventus, Chelsea, Inter Milan, A.C. Milan, Valencia, Everton and L.A. Galaxy featured in the first competition.

Real Madrid beat Chelsea 3-1 in Miami in the final to finish as winners of the inaugural edition.

For the 2014 edition, the eight teams, Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Inter Milan, A.C. Milan, AS Roma, Olympiacos and Real Madrid, will form two groups of four, and play in a round-robin format.

The winner of both groups will play in the final at Sun Life Stadium in Miami on August 4.
