Canada Soccer’s Toyota National Championships are hosted each October across six divisions in three venues: the adult competition for the men’s Challenge Trophy and women’s Jubilee Trophy; the U-17 Cup competition for boys and girls; the U-15 Cup competition for boys and girls.
As Canada Soccer’s largest national event featuring clubs from coast to coast, the Toyota National Championships have served as the nation’s primary amateur soccer competition for more than 100 years, with the men’s competition inaugurated in 1913, the youth competition inaugurated in 1966, and the women’s competition inaugurated in 1982. At all age levels, the Toyota National Championships provide a meaningful week-long soccer experience for host cities and participating teams, as well as the players,
coaches, support staff, officials, and volunteers.
Each year, Canada Soccer’s National Championships will:
• Determine the national champions in the respective age categories (six divisions);
• Provide an outstanding competitive opportunity and environment for players and coaches;
• Offer match officials the ability to excel at the national level;
• Promote soccer across the country;
• Ensure an enjoyable experience for all participants;
• Provide professional development opportunities and leave a legacy for host communities;
• Attract spectators to the competition;
• Achieve maximum visibility and exposure through broadcast and media for the competition, the sport and the host community.
Canada Soccer welcomed a record 105 qualified teams to its national amateur competitions in 2024 across the Futsal Canadian Championship (April), the inaugural Player-Development Program Championship (August) and the Toyota National Championships (October). The 105 qualified teams came from a group of more than 900 amateur teams competing in men’s and women’s divisions in the adult, U-17 and U-15 categories from May 2023 through October 2024.
