MSSA Cups

The Maryland cup tradition has a long and rich history that goes back more than a century. The Rowland Cup is Maryland's oldest cup competition, first played in 1914, and is the state's open championship. The Stewart Cup began in 1932 for teams vying for the state's amateur title. The Morton Cup was created to honor former MSSA Vice President Darwin "Lefty" Morton and is for teams not competing in either the Rowland or Stewart Cup. We also offer the McGrath (Over-30), Maryland Over-40 & Over-50 Cups. Our teams also are eligible to play tournaments organized by our leagues and other US Adult Soccer members.
2026 Cups Registration Open to 5 December
(20 October) Registration is open for the 2026 Cup Season. Teams may apply for the Stewart, Morton , McGrath (O-30) and Maryland Over-40 & Over-50 Cups. The Rowland Cup is integrated with the Maryland-District-Virginia Cup. Those teams will be selected among the league participants. Registration CLOSES 5 December.
