In 1922, the first Campeonato de Portugal, the forerunner to today's Taça de Portugal, was decided in a best-of-three series between Porto and Sporting, ultimately won by Porto (the Algarve and Madeira FA winners were also scheduled to participate but could not attend the tournament due to logistical issues). Thereafter, there have been five other finals between the two teams, this time after more participants had been eliminated. The clubs have also met in the league continuously since 1934 and in other cup fixtures.
