Originally, the Super Cup was played between the winners of the Portuguese league, Campeonato Nacional Feminino, and the holders of the Portuguese Cup, Taça de Portugal Feminina. If the League champions also won the Cup (i.e. achieve the double, Portuguese: dobradinha), they would play against the Cup runners-up.

The first edition of the Super Cup, played in August 2015 in this two-team format, saw Futebol Benfica beat Clube de Albergaria 4–0.[1]

In 2022,[2] the FPF announced the Supercup would be extended to include the League's runner-ups and the League Cup's winners, bringing it up to a four-team format. If any team would take more than one spot (for example, by winning both the league and league cup, or winning the cup and finishing second in the league), the remaining spots were to be awarded to the League's 3rd and/or 4th finishers of the previous season. This was the case in 2024, following Benfica's success in the 2023/2024 editions of the League, the Cup, and the League Cup, granting third-place finshers Racing Power and fourth-place finishers Damaiense a spot in the Super Cup.

In 2024, Sporting CP won the Super Cup after qualifying through a second-place league finish in the 2023–24 season.[3] This marked the first time in Portuguese football history a team won the Super Cup without winning either the League or the Cup, or at least reaching the Cup final (in case of a domestic double).
