Empress' Cup

Football tournament

The Empress's Cup All-Japan Women's Soccer Championship Tournament (皇后杯全日本女子サッカー選手権大会, Kōgōhai Zen Nippon Joshi Sakkaa Senshuken Taikai), since 2018 renamed "Empress's Cup JFA Japan Women's Football Championship" (Japanese: 皇后杯 JFA 全日本女子サッカー選手権大会) or The The JFA Empress's Cup (from 2024 onwards), is a Japanese Women's football competition. As an elimination tournament, it can be considered the female counterpart to the men's Emperor's Cup in Japan. The name "Empress's Cup" has been used since the 2012 season as the Empress's Cup trophy was founded in that year.^[1]
