About the National Cups
The USASA National Cups program is the oldest and most prestigious adult
competition offered to all affiliated teams of the United States Adults Soccer Association. It is also open to any youth
soccer team whose players are registered with the United States Soccer Federation. Six divisions of competition are offered each year: Men's Open Cup, Men's Amateur
Cup, Men's 0/30 Cup, Men's U/23 Cup, Women's Cup and Women's U/23 Cup. In addition, those teams who enter into the Men's Open Cup competition are
also entering the USSF Lamar Hunt Open Cup. This competition allows our adult men teams the possibility of playing the
Major League Soccer (MLS) teams for the championship title.
The competition for the 2009 year will begin in September 2008 in many of our states in Region
II. Contact your state office now for more information. The regional competition will be held in Chicago, IL on June 26-28,
2009. The National Finals, where the regional winners in all competitions compete for the national championship title,
will be held in Orlando, FL on July 24-26, 2009.
