Forsyth Cup


The Forsyth Cup is a Canadian university volleyball championship conducted by Ontario University Athletics and determines the men's conference champion. The champion then qualifies for the U Sports men's [volleyball championship], which typically takes place on the following weekend.

History

The Ontario Universities Athletics Association volleyball championship was first contested following the 1965–66 season. The Toronto Varsity Blues won the first two championships in 1966 and 1967. After University of Toronto alumnus, Jim Forsyth, died in an automobile accident in February 1968, the Forsyth Memorial Trophy was donated in his honour and awarded to the OUAA conference champion.
From 2010 to 2020, the championship semi-finals and finals were played at the same site on the same weekend in single-game series. After the 2020–21 season and Forsyth Cup championship were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the OUA announced that the semi-finals and finals would take place on different weekends for the 2021–22 season. The format was retained for the 2022–23 season onward, where the higher-seeded team would host the championship game.
