Carolina Cup history
The Carolina Cup Team Championships, inaugurated in 1997, celebrates the legacy of the land we call home… North Carolina. Each year a medallion is presented to the age division winners representing an aspect of our state’s rich history and this tradition. The winning team receives the prestigious Carolina Cup.
