The Intercontinental Cup is a four-nation football tournament organised by the All India Football Federation (AIFF). It was launched as a replacement for the Nehru Cup, with the first edition held as the 2018 Intercontinental Cup (India). Naming rights of the tournament were purchased by the Hero MotoCorp, which also sponsored the national team at that time. On 7 January 2023, the AIFF confirmed that the Intercontinental Cup would become an annual competition as part of their "Vision 2047" initiative. The first edition was won by India, while the next edition held in 2019 was won by North Korea.
