The first edition of the tournament was held in 1912 at Madrid Polo Golf Club, the first 18-hole golf course in Spain.

The 72-hole event was played over two days and won by the 1907 British Open Champion, the Frenchman Arnaud Massy.

The tournament left Madrid for the first time in 1942 to be played at San Cugat, just north of Barcelona.

Seve Ballesteros won in 1981, 1985 and 1995 with Alvaro Quirós and Miguel Angel Jiménez in 2010 and 2012 the most recent Spanish victors.
