The CERH Continental Cup was created in 1979 under the name of the European Super Cup and was contested by the winners of the European Cup and the Cup Winners' Cup, both ruled by the Comité Européen de Rink-Hockey. In 1997 the two competitions merged as the Champions League (now the European League) and, since then, the Continental Cup is contested by the winners of the European League and the CERS Cup (2nd tier competition in Europe).^[1]
