The Hellenic Cup (Greek: Ελληνικό Κύπελλο, Ellinikό Kypello) is an Australian football (soccer) tournament contested by Greek Australian clubs, mostly from Melbourne, Victoria . Starting in 1983, it was an attempt to formalise the previously scattered approach to holding such tournaments in the 1960s and 1970s.
The Hellenic Cup Tournament trophy is housed in the Museum of National Centre for Hellenic Studies & Research at La Trobe University, Bundoora.

Famous quotes containing the word cup:
“In poorer lands
No one touches the water of life.
It has no taste
And though it refreshes absolutely
It is a cup that must also pass
Until everybody
Gets some advantage....”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
