History

It was first held as a post-season tournament in 2006 where it was named Homegrown Invitational Cup. Starting in 2007, Filoil Flying V Sports decided to hold it every summer and it was subsequently known as Filoil Flying V Preseason Cup. The De La Salle Green Archers won the first two editions of the tournament.[2] Teams from the UAAP has since then, dominated the tournament, winning 4 of the first 5 seasons. The tournament has been aired on television by coverage partner, ABS-CBN Sports, through ABS-CBN Sports+Action until 2016. Following a year without its coverage partner for the 2017 cup, the cup was returned to television this time on ESPN5 through The 5 Network and AksyonTV for the 2018 cup.

Tournament format

Its format consists of dividing the teams into 2 groups featuring single round robin elimination games among teams of the same group to determine the playoff teams. The playoffs feature a crossover format, with the top seeds of each group facing off against the 4th seed of their opposites and the 2nd seeds slugging it out with the opposite side’s 3rd seeds until a champion is determined.
