The Canada Cup 1984 ( French Coupe Canada 1984 ) was the third edition of the competition of the same name .

The International Ice Hockey Federation IIHF , the North American Professional League National Hockey League and the Canadian Ice Hockey Association Canadian Hockey Association supported the competition.

Six teams took part in the third edition of the competition. It was the first and only time that the Federal Republic of Germany took part in the tournament. She replaced Finland due to fifth place at the 1983 World Cup in her own country. Canada won the tournament with two wins in the final series against Sweden . The best scorer of the tournament was the Canadian Wayne Gretzky with five goals and twelve points. His compatriot John Tonelli was voted Most Valuable Player .
