He scored 11 points with the boot as the English side beat Clermont Auvergne 28-17 in Edinburgh.
Speaking at the announcement of the new trophy earlier this week, EPCR Chairman Simon Haliday said: "This is a fitting way to honour Anthony's memory. He was a great player and a great leader as well as a galvanising force in Munster's European odyssey.
"I would like to thank the Foley family and Munster Rugby for allowing us create this trophy for now and for the future."
