Melon Trophy

In 1969, CD Vilafranca had promoted the Melon Fair to raise funds for the club. It was held at the beginning of September and over time would become one of the main festivals in the festive calendar of Mallorca. The following year, the football tournament was incorporated, which from the beginning achieved great popularity, especially due to the category of participants and the great interest in pre-season summer tournaments at that time.

In the 1970s it was a leading tournament, with the participation of four teams that played semi-finals, a match for third and fourth place, and the grand final. Most of them were members of the Tercera División, but in those years the main clubs of the Islands were in this category. In fact, the most modest participant in terms of sport was precisely CD Vilafranca, which for this reason never managed to get past the semi-final phase.

Throughout the 1980s the tournament lost strength due to several factors. First, the riots caused by the public in the 1978 edition during one of the semi-final matches; second, the gradual loss of interest in summer tournaments (which would end with the disappearance of many of them); and above all the crisis of CD Vilafranca, until it disappeared in 1983, which meant the temporary disappearance of the tournament. In 1988 it was reorganized, even before the official constitution of the current CF Vilafranca, which that year participated with an unofficial team.

During the 90s, teams from a more local and humble area participated, maintaining the original format of four participants and some editions with a single match. During the decade, the local club improved its sporting results, ascending from Tercera regional to the Tercera división (where it would be ten seasons), which made the tournament recover a poster with better potential. The most outstanding edition was that of 2004, with the competition of RCD Mallorca, then in the Primera división.

From 2007, the crisis of CF Vilafranca (it was relegated again to Tercera regional in a few years) caused the tournament to adopt a simpler format. It became a single match and with more modest rivals, in accordance with the sports category of the team. Even during the 2010s, some editions were played coinciding with one of the team's home league matches. In 2020, the tournament was interrupted due to Covid-19 and resumed in 2022, recovering its autonomy from the league competition.

At all times, the tournament has continued to be organized linked to the events of the Melon Fair, being held on nearby dates or within the events of the Fair itself.
