Voyageurs Cup
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Voyageurs Cup is the only trophy for top-level professional soccer in Canada. The Cup is awarded annually to the Canadian United Soccer Leagues division one team that finishes with the best record from regular season matches against other Canadian teams in the USL. The Montreal Impact have won all five titles, with the Toronto Lynx finishing as runners-up the four of the five seasons, and in third place in 2005. The third Canadian team eligible for the trophy, the Vancouver Whitecaps, finished behind both of these clubs in this competition in four of those years, and were runners-up in 2005.
The Cup is awarded by The Voyageurs, who were founded in 1996 as a national organization of fans of Canada men's national soccer team. The Cup, and its engraving, shipping, maintaining and promotion is paid for in its entirety by private donations from individual members of the Voyageurs.
There is also a Voyageurs Cup West for Women and Voyageurs Cup East for Women that were first awarded in 2004. The first Women's Voyageurs Super Cup was contested in 2006.
