The AFC Cup was first contested in 2004 and catered for the so-called "developing" member federations (as opposed to the "mature" ones eligible for the Champions League and the "emerging" ones relegated to the Presidents Cup).
The Presidents Cup for the weakest, "emerging" member federations was played for on 10 occasions between 2005 and 2014 before it merged with the AFC Cup.
NB: the records below do not include the qualifying rounds prior to the
