Trofeo Pirelli

The Pirelli Cup was an annual friendly football tournament sponsored by the Pirelli Tyre company. The competition was started in 1996 as a single 90-minute friendly match between Pirelli-sponsored Internazionale and another invited team. Since 1996, 14 editions of the one-match tournament have been held. The latest edition of the competition was held in 2010 in Baltimore, featuring Inter Milan and Manchester City. The match ended 3–0 as Inter won the trophy.[1]

Not to be confused with the trophy of the Ferrari Challenge or the 2008 racing video game Ferrari Challenge: Trofeo Pirelli.
