The first Superprestige took place in 1982–1983 and was won by Hennie Stamsnijder of the Netherlands. The Superprestige is organised for trade teams, not national teams. Since 2018 Superprestige has been organised by Flanders Classics.
Only two riders have won all eight Superprestige races in one season, Sven Nys in 2006–07 and Mathieu van der Poel in 2018–19. The 2022–2023 season only contains seven races due to the race in Gieten being removed from the calendar.
