The Differ Cup is a biennial, cross-promotional professional wrestling tournament in Japan, contested among several teams of junior heavyweight tag teams, each typically representing a particular promotion. It was first held in 2003, and has since been held in 2005 and 2007. Since the founding of the Global Professional Wrestling Alliance in 2006, the Differ Cup has been considered a production of the GPWA, with several member promotions participating.
The tournament, featuring 8 teams, is held over two nights at the Tokyo Differ Ariake, which the name derives from. The quarterfinals and semifinals are held on the first night, with the finals and third place matches, as well as several non-tournament bouts, contested on the second.

“The cup of Morgan Fay is shattered.
Life is a bitter sage,
And we are weary infants
In a palsied age.”
