	===Toyota Cup===
	]
	Seeing the deterioration of the Intercontinental Cup, ]ese corporation '']'' took the competition under its wing. It created contractual obligations to have the Intercontinental Cup played in Japan once a year in which every club participating were obliged to participate or face legal consequences. This modern format breathed new air into the competition which saw a new trophy handed out along with the Intercontinental Cup, the Toyota Cup. None of the violence witnesses in the bitter battles of the 1960's was seen again in this new format.

	The first Toyota Cup was held in ] which saw Uruguay's Nacional triumph over ]. The 1980's saw a domination by South American sides as Brazil's ] and Grêmio, Uruguay's Nacional and Peñarol, Argentina's Independiente and River Plate take the spoils once each after Nacional's victory in 1980. Only Juventus, Portugal's ] and Milan managed to bring the trophy to the European continent. In that decade, the English ] tried organizing a Club World Cup sponsored by promoting company West Nally only to be shot down by UEFA.<ref>{{cite web \|url=http://hemeroteca.mundodeportivo.com/preview/1983/04/20/pagina-20/1441398/pdf.html?search=mundial \|title= La Copa Intercontinental el 11-D en Tokio: No habra una Copa Mundial de Clubes \|work=] \|accessdate=July 2, 2010 \|language= ] }}</ref>

	The 1990s proved to be a decade dominated by European teams as Milan, Red Star Belgrade, Ajax, Juventus, Real Madrid, Manchester United and newcomers ] of Germany were fueled to victory by its economic powers and heavy pouching of South American stars. Only three title went to South America as São Paulo and Argentina's ] came out the winners, each of them defeating Milan with São Paulo's inaugural win being over Barcelona. The 2000's would see Boca Juniors win the competition twice for South America while European victories came from Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Porto. The ] proved to be the last edition as the competition was absorbed into the FIFA Club World Cup.

	==Trophy==
	The competition trophy bears the words ''"Coupe Européenne-Sudamericaine"'' (''European-South American Cup'') at the top. At the base of the trophy, there is a drawing of two maps, one from ], another from ].

	==Cup format==
	From 1960 to 1979, the Intercontinental Cup was played in two legs. Between 1960 and 1968, the cup was decided on points only, the same format used by ] to determine the winner of the Copa Libertadores final through 1987. Because of this format, a third match was needed when both teams were equal on points. Commonly this match was host by the continent where the last game of the series was played. From 1969 through 1979, the competition adopted the ] standard method of aggregate score, with ].

	Starting in 1980, the final became a single match. Up until 2000, the matches were held at Tokyo's National Stadium. Finals since 2002 were held at the ], also the venue of the ] final.
