Since 2003, the small staff at TheCup.us (formerly USOpenCup.com) has been the Internet’s only source for full coverage of the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup. We have put in countless hours of our own time in order to give this great tournament the coverage it deserves, from early state qualifying, all the way to the championship game. Much of that time has gone into historical research, as we try to piece together the history of the tournament that dates back to 1914. If you appreciate the work that we’ve done over the years, and would like to help us move forward to expand our coverage, please use the donation button below to show your support.
