The Dallas Cup is an annual international football tournament for invited youth teams. The tournament was established in 1980 and is held in Dallas, Texas, with FC Dallas serving as its host club. Venues used for the tournament include the Cotton Bowl and Toyota Stadium. The Dallas Cup includes divisions ranging from U-12 to U-19 in the Boys' tournament and U-15 through U-19 in the Dallas Cup Girls' Invitational presented by Mary Kay, which features girls' age groups. The Botafogo is the current champion of the elite U19 Gordon Jago Super Group. The first ever Dallas Cup saw an English club side from South London, St. Thomas More, win the U14 cup and elite international competition has been a cornerstone for the tournament ever since.
