Dunsmore Cup
Encyclopedia
The Dunsmore Cup is a Canadian
sports trophy
, presented annually to the winner of the Quebec University Football League
of the Canadian Interuniversity Sport
federation. It was first awarded in 1980 to the winner of the Ontario-Quebec Interuniversity Football Conference and, upon re-organisation into the Quebec Intercollegiate Football Conference (now the Quebec University Football League), continues to be awarded as the Quebec conference's championship.
The winner of the Dunsmore Cup goes on to play in either the Uteck Bowl
or the Mitchell Bowl
national semi-final, depending on annual rotations.
The Dunsmore Cup was donated by Bob Dunsmore of Queen's University
, a 1915 Engineering graduate. He was the father of Robert Dunsmore, grandfather of Ross Dunsmore, great grandfather of Andrew Dunsmore (b. 1983, Toronto) and Michael Dunsmore (b. 1986, Toronto).
Note: Since 2001, Queen's and Ottawa have played in the Ontario University Athletics
conference and no longer compete for the Dunsmore Cup.
