Rali da Madeira has FIA status as an integral part of the FIA European Rally Trophy, a competition run by the international motorsport federation that underwent several changes in 2023. The number of events was reduced to 19 then and to 13 in 2024. The scoring system was also changed and takes into account, with a coefficient, the number of entries in each category, which means that a competitor with a less competitive vehicle, such as a Rally4, can compete for the title.

In 2025, the calendar for this trophy, which aims to act as a bridge between the national championships and the ERC and WRC, includes 15 events. So far, the rallies have been held: Terras d'Aboboreira (Portugal), Cesky Krumlov and Agrotec Petronas (Czech Republic), Chablais (Switzerland), and Zagreb Delta (Croatia). The second two-thirds of the season include the Madeira (Portugal), Rzeszow and Silesia (Poland), Ulster International (United Kingdom), ESOK (Turkey), Nova Gorica (Slovenia), Sanremo (Italy), Valais (Switzerland) and Lausitz (Germany) rallies.
