Brugmans, who was one of the intellectual leaders of the European Movement and co-founder and first president of the Union of European Federalists, was rector of the College of Europe in Bruges between 1950 and 1972. and 2016 editions were won by EFC Natolinsky (Einstein promotion) and the 2011 winners reclaimed the trophy in 2015. The winner of the 2013 edition was the Václav Havel City team. The 2017 edition was won by both the male and female teams of the John Maynard Keynes Promotion, also known as 'Invictus' due to their 100% rate of wins in the Cup. The Copernicus promotion won the 2018 edition of the Brugmans cup. The 2019 edition was a memorable one, with the highest ever attendance (170 athletes). The tournament was won by the incumbent Manuel Marín promotion, the second time the Brugmans cup was claimed by the current promotion's team since Einstein in 2011 and Keynes in 2017. In 2020, the tournament was regrettably cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
