#NXTCONTINENTALCUP

The Best Play Here

The 2023 Continental Cup is sold out!

The Continental Cup is an elite three-day recruiting event featuring some of the top clubs in North America. The name, Continental Cup, reflects not only the inclusion of the United States' top clubs but also one of Canada's best. It is truly a battle to see who's the best on the continent. 

All games will be played at ONE VENUE, CopperPlex, which is a new state-of-the-art all-turf facility enabling us to guarantee games rain or shine. Conveniently located just outside of Baltimore.

Not only will the top Division I, II, and III schools be lining the sidelines, but games will be filmed and uploaded onto the IWLCARecruits platform, where it is free for college coaches and IWRecruits members to access. Maximizing your team's exposure to college coaches around the nation is our top priority.
