Centenary Trophy

Since the 1990s, both the Basque Country and Catalonia international teams (which hold unofficial status) have typically organised a friendly match each year, often during Spanish football's short break around Christmas. In December 2014, Catalonia travelled to Biscay to play against the Basque Country, arranging both men's and women's fixtures to commemorate the first meetings between the men's teams 100 years earlier in January 1915 (although this was not advertised as the first in a 'double-header' at that time).{{cite web|url=http://fcf.cat/noticia/euskadi-catalunya-al-nou-san-mames/20/10/2014|title=Euskadi-Catalunya, al nou San Mamés|trans-title=Basque Country-Catalonia, at the new San Mamés|language=Catalan|publisher=Catalan Football Federation|date=20 October 2014}} It was the 12th match overall between them, in contrast to the women's teams who had never played each other before.

Both 2014 matches ended in 1–1 draws.{{cite web|url=http://fcf.cat/noticia/empat-a-san-mames/28/12/2014|title=Empat a San Mamés|trans-title=Even at San Mamés|language=Catalan|publisher=Catalan Football Federation|date=28 December 2014}} Repeats were scheduled for the following year, this time in Barcelona, now billed as the return leg of a Centenary Trophy between the sides. Cups were commissioned for the champions, and it was confirmed that penalties would decide the winner if necessary.{{cite web|url=http://fcf.cat/noticia/la-copa-del-catalunya-euskadi/24/12/2015|title=La Copa del Catalunya-Euskadi|trans-title=The Catalonia-Basque trophy|language=Catalan|publisher=Catalan Football Federation|date=24 December 2015}} The Basque teams emerged as narrow victors in both genders: 1–0 in the men's match{{cite web|url=http://fcf.cat/noticia/euskadi-s-enduu-el-centenari/27/12/2015|title=Euskadi s'enduu el Centenari|trans-title=Basque takes the Centenary|language=Catalan|publisher=Catalan Football Federation|date=26 December 2015}} and 4–3 on penalties in the women's match following another 1–1 draw.{{cite web|url=http://fcf.cat/noticia/euskadi-guanya-a-la-festa-del-futbol-femeni/26/12/2015|title=Euskadi guanya a la festa del futbol feminí|trans-title=Basque wins the women's football festival|language=Catalan|publisher=Catalan Football Federation|date=26 December 2015}}
