It was founded as the Tiger Cup after Singapore-based Asia Pacific Breweries, makers of Tiger Beer, sponsored the competition from its inauguration in 1996 until the 2004 edition. After Asia Pacific Breweries withdrew as title sponsors, the competition was known as the AFF Championship for the 2007 edition.

From 2008, Japanese auto-company Suzuki bought the naming rights for the competition, and the competition has therefore been named the AFF Suzuki Cup for sponsorship reasons.

The 11 AFF Championship tournaments have been won by four national teams: Thailand have won five titles, Singapore has four titles, and Malaysia and Vietnam have won one title each.

The most recent championship in 2016, was won by Thailand, who beat Indonesia 3–2 on aggregate in the final.
