annually by the winners of <a href="/facts/Domestic_cup/xRSlUAH4">domestic cup</a> competitions. The competition's official name was originally the European Cup Winners' Cup; it was renamed the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in <a href="/facts/1994%25E2%2580%259395_UEFA_Cup_Winners%2527_Cup/QPx1W55v">1994</a>. Chronologically, the Cup Winners' Cup was the second inter-European club competition organised by <a href="/facts/UEFA/UafFnEBe">UEFA</a>. </p><p>The first tournament was held in <a href="/facts/1960%25E2%2580%259361_European_Cup_Winners%2527_Cup/t81661nI">1960–61</a>, but it was organised by the <a href="/facts/Mitropa_Cup/4INtSqz4">Mitropa Cup</a>'s Organising Committee and not recognised by the governing body of European football until 1963, when it was accepted as a <a href="/facts/UEFA/UafFnEBe">UEFA</a> competition on the initiative of the <a href="/facts/Italian_Football_Federation/vlAHoaKP">Italian Football Federation</a> (FIGC). From 1972 onwards, the winner of the tournament progressed to play the winner of the European Cup (later the <a href="/facts/UEFA_Champions_League/h1ao7NDp">UEFA Champions League</a>) in the <a href="/facts/UEFA_Super_Cup/QbIDwojw">European Super Cup</a>. </p><p>The tournament ran for 39 seasons, with the final edition held in <a href="/facts/1998%25E2%2580%259399_UEFA_Cup_Winners%2527_Cup/DNuH5VzI">1998–99</a>, after which it was discontinued. Since the abolition of the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, the UEFA Super Cup place previously reserved for the Cup Winners' Cup winner has been taken by the winner of the UEFA Cup, now the <a href="/facts/UEFA_Europa_League/aQeea4zp">UEFA Europa League</a>. </p>
