Therefore, the first official match played in the AtlanticCup was the one on April 28, 2002 between the Faroese champions in 2001, B36 Tórshavn and the Icelandic champions in 2001, Akranes.
In 2004 the AtlanticCup was back in Gundadalur Stadium in Tórshavn, where HB again was representing the Faroe Islands, and their counterpart from Iceland was again represented by KR Reykjavík.
The annual meeting between the Champions of Iceland and the Champions of the Faroe Islands in the AtlanticCup, was a pretty one-sided affaire this year, as HB Tórshavn were beaten 4-1.
