I had been hired by a company and during my training period I got a better job offer so I resigned after 1 week. I am no longer working for the other company and I believe the original company is hiring for a similar position. How would I go about reapplying?

Don't re-apply. You don't want them to remember how unreliable you were.

@keshlam I agree. She's permanently marked as a flake at that job. I would never rehire anyone that quit after a week.

You just apply. Likely they will trash the application but you are no worse off then if you did not apply.

How long ago were you part of this company? If it's anything past a year ago, they likely forgot who you are.

As others have already commented, don't waste your time applying to that company. By quitting after a week, you said to them "I'm not interested in working here, it's just something to fill in the time until I find a 'better' job." They'll very reasonably take the position that you'll just do the same thing again the next time a 'better' job comes along, so it's not worth the time and expense of hiring you.
You made a decision to burn the company's goodwill by quitting after a week; actions have consequences and in this case one of the consequences is that you'll probably never work for that company in the future.
