History
World Cup grew out of the Pop Warner success of mother–daughter team Elaine Pascale and Joelle Antico. For many years, Pascale served as coach of the local Pop Warner team that Antico had joined. Eventually, the family moved to Freehold, New Jersey, where Pascale found herself coaching a Pop Warner midget squad. By this time Anitco was attending Penn State and would come home on weekends to assist her mother with the team. In 1992, the pair won their first Pop Warner National Championship. The transition from Pop Warner to all stars was not a big leap for Pascale and Antico. After the national win and with the Pop Warner season over, a small group of their students and parents persuaded them to start a competition squad, and the World Cup All Stars were born.
World Cup All Stars officially began in 1994.and The first team formed was the Shooting Stars. In 1995 World Cup won its very first national championship. From that point, the team from World Cup has won numerous national championships from NCA, Spirit Sports, Americheer, WSF and many other companies. Most recently, winning 2009 IASF Cheerleading Worlds in the Large Senior All Girl division and earning the bronze in the International Junior division. Both the Large Senior All Girl (Shooting Stars) and International Junior All Girl (Starlites) are back-to-back world champions, winning in both 2007 and 2008. Also in 2008, 3 best teams in the galxy Satellite,Shooting Stars,and Twinkles World Cup's Large Senior Limited Coed Team (Odyssey) received 3rd place at the Cheerleading Worlds. One of their other well known teams Twinkles.

In 2009, World Cup's Shooting Stars and Odyssey have been awarded fully paid bids inviting them to attend the Cheerleading Worlds. Starlites and Cosmic Rays (who at that time competed in the Senior Small Limited Coed division) have also been invited to compete at the 2009 Cheerleading Worlds, both receiving At Large bids.
