history

The competition was introduced in 1969 for semi-professional clubs. The final is always held in Wembley Stadium , only during the construction phase it took place in Villa Park .

The trophy that the winner receives was donated by Ernest Cochrane in 1905 to create an international tournament between teams from England, the United States and Canada . This should drive the development of the sport in the new world. However, the competition was never held on these terms.
