2026-2027 tournament year
NCSA Cup Tournament
Welcome to the NCSA Cup Tournament, now in its twelfth year! Every fall 2026 league-registered NCSA team from U9 through U15 is eligible. With two tournament divisions, your team will enjoy a minimum of two competitive tournament games - all leading to the tournament finals at Ramapo College on June 5, 2027. Register now to ensure your spot!
How the Tournament Works
- Two Tournament Divisions
- The Champions Cup Division is for league teams in flights A, B or C. The Commissioners Cup Division is for all other flights. Both divisions play their finals at Ramapo College on the same day (June 5, 2027).
- Two-Match Minimum - Guaranteed
- The first round of all brackets is two matches (one home and one away), so every team that registers plays at least twice. Win the round and you advance to the subsequent knockout rounds. The first round is played during the fall season; all subsequent rounds are played in the spring.
- Year-Long Tournament
- The opening round for all brackets is played during the fall season. All later rounds are played during the spring season, culminating in the finals on June 5, 2027 at Ramapo College in Mahwah, NJ.
- $175 per team
- You won't pay anything until your team has been accepted into a bracket. The tournament fee is far less than almost any other tournament your club will enter this year.
Finals Day
Saturday, June 5, 2027
Ramapo College, Mahwah, NJ
Every bracket in both divisions plays its final at Ramapo College - it's an amazing experience for players, coaches and families alike!
How do I register my team?
Find your fall league team by name.
We read your fall flight code and assign your bracket. You don't pick it.
Give us your name, your role, and your email and phone number.
Submit your registration. You'll get a confirmation email right away, an acceptance email once the NCSA Cup Commissioner has reviewed it, and you pay the $175 after that.
This Year's Brackets
Team registrations will be filled on a first come, first served basis; when a bracket reaches its capacity it will close immediately. If a particular bracket doesn't draw enough teams (minimum 8) then that bracket won't start; we'll let you know before you've paid anything. Spread the word to your fellow teams and coaches to ensure that your team's bracket moves forward!
