英國牛津大學與劍橋大學的競合關係從十三世紀以來就熱烈展開。只是一九四八年 Oxford University Press (OUP) 推出 Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary 第一版時， Cambridge University Press (CUP) 並沒有馬上跟進。直到一九九五年 CUP 才推出第一本學習型詞典 Cambridge International Dictionary of English (CIDE) ，同年上市的辭典還有， OALD 第五版以及 Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English (LDOCE) 第三版。

CIDE 後續版本改名為《剑桥高阶学习字典》(Cambridge Advanced LearnerS Dictionary) (CALD) ，上市日期是二○○三年。從 CIDE 到 CALD 名稱改了，內容也有不小的變更。直到二○○五年四月， CALD 推出了《剑桥高阶学习词典》第2版，確定了風格走向，更確定要在原本已熱鬧無比的學習型詞典市場裡爭得一席之地。
