Xavier Cup

The Xavier Cup is an amateur football league founded in 1907 in Cincinnati, Ohio. It is named after Xavier University, a Jesuit Catholic university located in the city. The league is open to all amateur footballers, regardless of age or experience.

The Xavier Cup was founded in 1907 by a group of football enthusiasts in Cincinnati. The original goal of the league was to provide a competitive outlet for amateur footballers in the city. The league quickly grew in popularity, and by the early 1920s, it was one of the largest amateur football leagues in the United States.

The Xavier Cup continued to operate throughout the 1920s and 1930s, but it faced increasing competition from professional football leagues. In 1941, the Xavier Cup was forced to suspend operations due to World War II.
