The Trofeo Spagnolo was a summer association football friendly tournament that take place in Genoa, Italy, from 1995 to 2012. The tournament was organized by Genoa C.F.C. in memoriam of Vincenzo Claudio Spagnolo, the fan of Genoa murdered around the match Genoa vs Milan on January 29, 1995. Edition was suspended in 2005 - because of relegation of Genoa to Serie C1, in 2009 - because of the unavailability of the Ferraris stadium and 2011 - because of the connection with the game of the second round Italian Cup at the Ferraris stadium between Sampdoria and Alexandria on August 14.

The teams played 3 round-robin 45-minute matches. If any match ended in a draw, it was decided by penalties. Since 1998 is awarded to the winner of a single match at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris in Genoa.
