The United Tournament or United Supercup was an exhibition football club tournament between two best clubs from Ukraine and two from Russia. The context of the tournament were the talks which are held regarding creating the United CIS championship, or joint Russia–Ukraine league. The organisers of the tournament were the same people in charge of drafting a proposal for the united league. (two-legged ties for all pairs of clubs from different countries,), but at the second edition it was changed to a round-robin.

In 2014, the War in Donbas and conflict between Russia and Ukraine put the idea to create a united tournament between the nations on halt.
