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 Maryland Over-30, Over-40 & Over-50 Cups. Our teams also are eligible to play tournaments organized by our leagues and other US Adult Soccer members.
2025 Field Set Groups Draw Next
(9 December) Once again we have a big crop of contenders taking place in our cup competitions as seven titles are in play for the 2025 season. The Morton and Maryland-District-Virginia Cups will be 16-team formats as teams compete at group play to earn places in the respective quartefinals. The Stewart Cup will be a four sided affair to determine who advances to the USASA Region I qualifiers for the Amateur Cup. Then there are several teams taking part in the Maryland Over-30, Over-40 & Over-50 Cups. The Rowland Cup will be determined among the top group finishers of the Rowland Division of the Maryland-District-Virginia Cup. It promises to be a very active cup season.
We kick it off in January with group play for the Morton and MDV Cups. The groups are being drawn and the schedule will be posted soon. Keep an eye on this site, Maryland's hotspot for cup news. Visit us on Twitter @marylandsoccer and Instagram at maryland.state.soccer.
