The Trofeo Luigi Berlusconi (Luigi Berlusconi Trophy) is an annual friendly football match. It is organized by Italian club Milan, and usually takes place in August at the San Siro, their home stadium.
The competition was founded by Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi in memory of his father Luigi, and was originally intended to be contested by the Rossoneri and the UEFA Champions League winners. However in the first edition — which took place on 23 August 1991 — they faced Juventus instead of Red Star Belgrade. The match was won by Juventus 2–1. Over the next three years, Milan played against Internazionale, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich respectively, winning all three times. Between 1995 and 2012 the Trofeo Luigi Berlusconi was contested exclusively between Milan and Juventus. Due to scheduling conflicts no game was played in 2013. In the 19 times Milan and Juventus have played each other, Juventus holds a 10–9 edge.
The game returned in 2014 - the 23rd edition. It was scheduled in November, but was not played against Juventus, but and Argentinian team, San Lorenzo. Milan won the game 2–0 to earn its 13th trophy.
