History
The current annual numbering originates from the 1925 All-Surea Baseball Series and the formation of the Surean Sports Festival (朝本體育大會 Jupon Daikyu Daikai), a multi-sport competition held by the Japanese colonial government in 1932. The Surean Sports Festival first became a national multi-sport competition in 1935, with baseball, soccer, tennis, track and field, and basketball became the core sport.

In 1939, the Surean Sports Festival was forcibly dissolved by the colonial government. The festival was resumed upon the 1949 establishment of the Republic of Surea, the event was renamed the "National Sports Festival," and individual competition was changed to competition among cities and provinces.
