The Vila de Gràcia Trophy (Catalan: Trofeu Vila de Gràcia), officially the Trofeu Vila de Gràcia Memorial Fina Serrano, is an annual pre-season football tournament in the Vila de Gràcia, Barcelona (Catalonia, Spain). The tournament is organized by the Catalan football club CE Europa, played in the Nou Sardenya, and disputed between the women's team of CE Europa and an invited team. Moreover, it serves as the official presentation of CE Europa's first women's team.[1]

From 2003 to 2013 the tournament was called Torneig Caliu Gracienc, given that it was organised by the supporter group with the same name.[2] In 2023 it was announced that the tournament would honour Fina Serrano Gallardo, an ex-player of CE Europa and a pioneer of women's football in Catalonia.[3][4]
