Canada

Women's football is mostly organised by the provincial associations. The major national competition is the Jubilee Trophy, played annually, usually around October.

Jubilee Trophy

The women's competition, the Jubilee Trophy, began in 1981 with a challenge match between the Edmonton Angels and the Lunenberg Lasers. This competition evolved into a national competition sanctioned by the Canadian Soccer Association with a format similar to that of the Challenge Cup. Beginning in 1985, the Jubilee Trophy was played at the same site as the Challenge Cup.
The Jubilee Trophy was donated by the Ontario Soccer Association.. It is, however, distinguished in that in it's first six years, one team, the Edmonton Angels, monopolized the Championship for five years.

It wasn't until 1987 that the Coquitlam, B.C. Soccer Club was able to break this dynasty by defeating the Ontario representatives, the Oakville Soccer Club, 3-2 in a game that went to penalty kicks. The Edmonton Angels were not able to secure a place in the finals but placed third overall defeating Quebec.
