ROCKY MOUNTAIN CUP
Established 2005
Bring me men to match my mountains
Bring me men to match my plains
Men with empires in their purpose
And new eras in their brains
- Sam Walter Foss 1894

Such a high-quality Cup would never have been if not for the invaluable contributions of both time and money by fans from the Rocky Mountain region as well as throughout the United States. The Cup represents not just a rivalry, but the undying passion of the true soccer fan.
Special thanks to Classic Hand Engraving of Denver for their wonderful work. Their passion for both their art and for the international game shows in the quality of the engraving, in which they also included a relief of the Rocky Mountains.
