The Stanley Cup Trophy 


The Stanley Cup is the the oldest trophy competed for a by professional sports team and athletes in North America and it was donated in 1892 by Sir Frederick Arthur, Lord Stanley of Preston and the son of the Earl of Derby. He purchased the trophy for 10 Guineas, the equivalent $50.00 at that time, to be presented to the championship hockey club of the Dominion of Canada. The first team ever to win and be awarded the Stanley Cup was the Montreal Amateur Athletic Association in the year 1893. Since 1910 when the National Hockey Association took initial possession of the Stanley Cup, the trophy has been symbolic of professional hockey supremacy until 1926, and since then only NHL teams have competed for this prized Stanley Cup trophy. 


The Cup is the only professional sports trophy where the name of every member of the winning hockey team is inscribed. The trophy stands at 35 ¼ inches in height and weighs 34 ½ pounds. There is a tradition where each of the winning team's players and staff have the cup for 24 hours for their own personal use. Thanks for visiting The Stanley Cup Trophy home.
