The first three incarnations were held near the beginning of the year. Copa Junior returned in 2010 as an end of year tournament, then went back to being a start of the year tournament in 2014.,

The forerunner to this tournament may have been the 1995 CMLL Second Generation Tag Team Tournament.


1996

The first (known) occurrence was in 1996. The 16 participants in the first tournament were Apolo Dantes, Dr. Wagner Jr., El Hijo del Gladiador, El Hijo del Santo, Emilio Charles Jr., Espectro Jr., Hector Garza, Humberto Garza Jr., Karloff Lagarde Jr., La Fiera, Mano Negra, Rambo, Rayo de Jalisco Jr., Scorpio Jr., Silver King and Shocker.

The tournament was held over two Arena Mexico shows. The first, on 02/23, contained 8 opening round matchups. The second show, on 03/01, featured an 8 man tournament to decide the winner.

2005

In 2005, the event was revived (though presented as a new concept) with the idea of making it a yearly event. This time, it was a (for the time) standard 16 man tournament over three weeks: two 8 man tournaments on January 21 (won by Shocker) and January 28 (Dr. Wagner Jr.), followed by the bracket winners meeting on February 4th.

2006

The 2006 version of the event was a one night, 16 man tournament. Dos Caras Jr. was ultimately the winner. Due to the format, no match lasted ten minutes, and nothing really came of the win.

2010

Dragon Rojo Jr.

This year's tournament included twenty wrestlers in a new single elimination tournament format. The field was split into two blocks of 10. The traditional battle royals to determine seeding also offered a bye to the block final. The first eight were seeding in the tournament as normal. The final two left in the ring immediately faced off in a normal one fall match, with the winner advancing directly the block finals (the overall semifinals) and the loser eliminated.

All matches were held in Arena Mexico. The first block was held on December 10, 2010. The seeding and tournament structure required Dragon Rojo Jr. to win consecutive matches over La Mascara, Sombra and Volador Jr.. Dragon pulled off the feat to win this block.

The second block was be held on December 17, with Averno earning the short road to the block final and defeating his long time rival Mistico to advance to the final.

The final took place on a special December 25th show. After the referee was knocked down, Dragon Rojo fouled Averno and covered. However, the referee argued with Averno's second Mephisto instead of realizing there was a cover. Dragon Rojo let go to cover, and Averno took advantage to foul Dragon Rojo. The referee noticed the second foul, and disqualified Averno.
