==Sporting== Trophies have been awarded for team, or individual accomplishments in sports. Many [[combat sports]], such as [[boxing]], [[mixed martial arts]], and [[professional wrestling]] use championship belts as trophies; however, unlike most of the trophies mentioned below, a new one is not created every time a new champion is crowned; rather, the new champion takes the belt from the old one. ===Association football=== Trophies in the sport include: [[File:River Plate campeΓ³n de AmΓ©rica 1986 (cropped).jpg|thumb|upright|[[Norberto Alonso]] with the [[Copa Libertadores (trophy)|Copa Libertadores Trophy]]. The trophy awarded to the champions of [[Copa Libertadores]]]] *[[Copa Libertadores (trophy)|Copa Libertadores Trophy]] β Known simply as ''Libertadores'' or ''Copa'', awarded to the winners of the [[Copa Libertadores]] since 1960. It is one of the most prestigious laurels in the [[Western Hemisphere]]. *The [[FA Cup]] β Awarded to winners of the primary English domestic football knockout tournament, officially ''The Football Association Challenge Cup'', often referred to as just the ''FA Cup''. The FA Cup was inaugurated in 1871 and is therefore the oldest tournament in club football. The original trophy, however, was stolen in 1895 and the current trophy design, which was first awarded in 1911, is actually the fifth incarnation in total. * The [[Women's FA Cup]] β Awarded to winners of the primary English women's domestic football knockout tournament. Inaugurated in 1971, it was one of the first prestigious trophies to be made by the [[Thomas Lyte]] silver workshop. * [[FIFA World Cup Trophy]] β Awarded to the winners of the [[FIFA World Cup]] from the [[1974 FIFA World Cup]] onwards. Previous winners were awarded the [[Jules Rimet Trophy]] (known simply as ''Victory'' until 1949), which was awarded in perpetuity to Brazil after their 3rd win in the [[1970 FIFA World Cup]]. Both are referred to colloquially as ''the World Cup'' * [[FIFA Women's World Cup]] Winner's Trophy β Awarded to the winners of the FIFA Women's World Cup from the [[1999 FIFA Women's World Cup]] onwards. Unlike the men's World Cup trophy, the women's trophy is constructed anew for each champion to keep. [[UEFA European Championship | Henri Delaunay Trophy]] - Awarded to the winners of the [[UEFA European Championship]] from the [[1960 European Nations' Cup]] onwards. The original trophy design was used till [[UEFA Euro 2004]]. From [[UEFA Euro 2008]] onwards, the trophy design was changed to make it bigger and heavier than the original as the old trophy was overshadowed by UEFA's other trophies namely the [[European Champion Clubs' Cup]]. *[[European Champion Clubs' Cup]] β colloquially ''the European Cup'', awarded to the winners of the European Cup (before 1992β93) and the [[UEFA Champions League]] (since 1992β93). It is the most prestigious trophy in the [[Eastern Hemisphere]]. It is affectionately known as "old big ears" due to its shape. *[[Philip F. Anschutz Trophy]] β Awarded to the winners of the [[MLS Cup]], the MLS' championship game *[[UEFA Super Cup]] β Awarded to the winners of a one-off match between the winners of the [[Uefa Champions League|UEFA Champions League]] and the [[UEFA Europa League]]. *The [[Scottish Cup]] β Awarded to the winners of the primary domestic knockout cup tournament of Scotland (the ''Scottish Football Association Challenge Cup'', or just ''Scottish Cup''). The tournament was founded in 1873 and still presents the original trophy. The Scottish Cup is therefore the world's oldest national football trophy and second oldest national trophy, behind the Carlisle Bells race trophy dating back to 1599. [[File:Ajax-speler_Barry_Hulshoff_met_de_cup,_Bestanddeelnr_925-6412_(cropped).jpg|thumb|right|The [[European Champion Clubs' Cup]] held here by [[Johan Cruyff]] in 1972, is awarded to the winners of the [[UEFA Champions League]]]] Other notable trophies in the sport includes the [[Jules Rimet Trophy]]. The original was stolen in Brazil in 1983 and has never been recovered. Replicas were awarded to winning nations up to the retirement of the genuine trophy. However, prior to the 1966 final, [[The Football Association]] made an (unauthorised) replica in secret in gilded bronze for use in post-match celebrations due to security concerns β the genuine trophy was made out of close to 2 kg of pure gold. This has led to several conspiracy theories regarding which trophy was stolen β the FA replica, or the real trophy. FIFA purchased the replica for Β£254,500 (ten times the reserve price) in 1997, with the inflated price attributed to such rumours.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/87e8256e-cbcc-11da-a7bf-0000779e2340.html|newspaper=Financial Times|first=Simon|last=Kuper|date=2006-04-14|title=Solid gold mystery awaits the final whistle|url-status=live|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090306014341/http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/87e8256e-cbcc-11da-a7bf-0000779e2340.html|archivedate=2009-03-06}}</ref> This trophy is held on behalf of FIFA by the [[National Football Museum]] in [[Preston, Lancashire|Preston]]. The current FIFA World Cup trophy inscribe the names of the teams that won the award underneath the base of the trophy. A club that manages to win the Copa Libertadores trophy three consecutive times retain the trophy permanently. The current trophy has been used since 1975. Like the FIFA World Cup trophy, the winners of each edition of the tournament has their name inscribed on the trophy; unlike the FIFA World Cup trophy, a pedestal contains a list of winners in the form of badges. The current pedestal is the fourth in the trophy's history, having been used since 2009. The original trophy was awarded to [[Estudiantes de La Plata]] in 1970 (after their third win) β the present trophy is the third, identical edition.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://espanol.sports.yahoo.com/noticias/d-sport-sabias-trofeo-copa-libertadores-hizo-03052010-79.html|title=ΒΏSabΓas que el trofeo de la Copa Libertadores se hizo en el PerΓΊ?|first=Fernando|last=Lozano|date=2010-05-03|newspaper=ElComercio.com.pe|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110111133021/http://espanol.sports.yahoo.com/noticias/d-sport-sabias-trofeo-copa-libertadores-hizo-03052010-79.html|archivedate=2011-01-11}}</ref> Until 2009, clubs that win the [[European Champion Clubs' Cup]] three times in successive seasons, or five times in total, were permitted to retain the trophy in perpetuity. The present trophy has been used since 2005β06 after [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]]'s fifth win in 2005. The original trophy was awarded to [[Real Madrid CF|Real Madrid]] in 1966 (after their sixth win) β the present trophy is the sixth incarnation overall. Four trophies have served as an award (out of five made) for the winner of the FA Cup. The first (1871β1895) was stolen in [[Birmingham]] and melted down, the second (1896β1910) was presented to [[Lord Kinnaird]] and is held by [[David Gold (businessman)|David Gold]], the chairman of [[Birmingham City F.C.|Birmingham City]] after private auction in 2005. The third (1910β1992) was retired after the 1992 final due to fragility and is held by [[The Football Association]]; two exact replicas of it were made, one of which has been awarded to the winners (1993β2013), the other remains as a backup in case of damage to the primary trophy. The same design was recast and was unveiled in 2014 to be more durable. ===Australian rules football=== *[[AFL Premiership]] Cup β Awarded to the [[Australian Football League]]'s Premier/ Winner of the [[AFL Grand Final]] *[[McClelland Trophy]] β Awarded to the [[Australian Football League]]'s Home & Away season / Minor Premiership champion. * Dockland Trophy β Awarded to the [[Australian Football League]]'s best dock-side team in games between Fremantle and Port Adelaide. ===Baseball=== *[[Commissioner's Trophy (MLB)|Commissioner's Trophy]] β Awarded to [[Major League Baseball]]'s [[World Series]] Champion ===Basketball=== *[[Jun Bernardino Trophy]] β Awarded to the [[Philippine Basketball Association]] Philippine Cup champion *[[Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy]] β Awarded to the [[National Basketball Association]]'s champion *[[Naismith Trophy]] β Awarded to the [[FIBA World Cup]] champions ===Cricket=== [[File:Ashes Urn.jpg|thumb|upright|The Ashes urn]] *[[Cricket World Cup Trophy]] β Awarded to the Winners of the [[ICC Cricket World Cup]]. *[[The Ashes urn]] β Awarded to the winning team of the [[The Ashes|biennial cricket Test series]] between [[England cricket team|England]] and [[Australia national cricket team|Australia]].

Only from 1998 to 1999 were the winners of the Ashes presented with a replica (not to scale) of the urn in [[Waterford Crystal]]. *[[BorderβGavaskar Trophy]] β Awarded to the winning team of the [[BorderβGavaskar Trophy|biennial cricket Test series]] between [[India national cricket team|India]] and [[Australia national cricket team|Australia]]. === Gaelic football === *[[Sam Maguire Cup]] β Awarded to the winners of the [[All-Ireland Senior Football Championship]] ===Gridiron football=== ====American football==== *[[AFCA National Championship Trophy|BCS Trophy]] β Awarded to [[College Football]]'s National Champion *[[College Football Playoff National Championship Trophy]] β Awarded to the winner of the [[College Football Playoff]] *[[Heisman Trophy]] β Awarded to the [[National Collegiate Athletic Association|NCAA]]'s [[Most Valuable Player]] in [[College Football]] *[[Vince Lombardi Trophy]] β Awarded to the [[National Football League]]'s [[Super Bowl]] champion ====Canadian football==== *[[Grey Cup]] β Awarded to the [[Canadian Football League]]'s champion *[[Vanier Cup]] β Awarded to the [[U Sports]] Canadian football champion ===Golf=== *[[Claret Jug (golf trophy)|Claret Jug]] β Awarded to the winner of [[The Open Championship]] *[[Ryder Cup]] β Awarded to the winner of a biennial competition between Europe and the USA *[[Wanamaker Trophy]] β Awarded to the winner of [[the PGA Championship]] ===Esports=== [[File:SK Telecom T1 with 2015 League of Legends World Champtionship trophy.jpg|thumb|The Summoner's Cup at the [[2015 League of Legends World Championship|2015 ''League of Legends'' World Championship]]]] [[Esports]] competitions often make use of large and visually dramatic trophies.
