The Cup of Champions is an invitational association football tournament intermittently contested between the winners of major international football tournaments. Held under various names throughout its history, the tournament is currently contested as one half of the Eagle's Cup, alongside the Cocoa-bo Challenge Trophy.
The Polar Islandstates are the most successful team in the tournament, having contested the three finals and won two titles. The current champions are Banija, who defeated Græntfjall in the Cup of Champions 10 Final.
Eligible teams
Under Eagle's Club regulations, the Cup of Champions should ideally include no more than eight teams. Additionally, at least three-quarters of the entrants must be the titleholders of a World Cup Committee tournament or recognised regional championship for the tournament to be considered a valid Cup of Champions.
The Eagle's Club currently awards invitations to the winners of the following tournaments:
- World Cup
- Cup of Harmony
- Baptism of Fire
- AOCAF Cup
- Copa Rushmori
- Campionato Esportiva
- Independent Associations Championship
The eighth invitation is awarded at the discretion of the Eagle's Club, usually to the Cup of Champions titleholders or the highest-ranked team in the KPB ranking system. Before the merger of the Cup of Champions with the Eagle's Cup, the hosts of the upcoming World Cup were also granted invitations to the Cup of Champions.
