Ho Ho Cup was presented in 1924 by the Ho Ho Biscuit Factory in Singapore and played between Malayan/Malaysian and Hong Kong Chinese. The original cup was lost during World War II. The Malaya (later Malaysia) team could include Singaporean players until 1969. Starting from 1970 onwards, all teams involved were permitted to insert several non-Chinese players. Up until the early 1970s, the Hong Kong team was the "Combined Chinese" team, whereby any Chinese player based in Hong Kong was eligible to play for the team, regardless of his affiliation to either the Hong Kong FA or the Taiwan FA.
