The first Vordischa Trophäe was held in 1966 in Kolossendor, Zoria, as the first mass-market skating initiative in Zusea. The name was changed to the Kapha Trophäe in 1979 to honor the legendary Zusian Alixander Kapha, who had won all of the thirteen tournaments up to that point, but was killed in a plane crash that year.

On 26 September 2011 Schossi Schokolada became the main official sponsor of the Kapha Trophäe. However, since all Räich Academies and their programs are patronized by the Vordic Imperial Throne (the office of the Basilikar), corporate sponsors are legally disallowed from changing the names of official tournaments.
