Empress's Cup


The Empress's Cup All-Japan Women's Soccer Championship Tournament, since 2018 renamed "Empress's Cup JFA Japan Women's Football Championship" or The JFA Empress's Cup, 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.
From 2004 to 2011 season, the final was played on New Year's Day at the National Olympic Stadium in Tokyo before the Emperor's Cup final, and was regarded as the traditional closing match of the season. Since 2012, the final has been played separately from the Emperor's Cup final.
