The 2019 Challenge Trophy (French: Trophée Challenge 2019, part of the Toyota National Championships for sponsorship reasons) was the 97th edition of the Challenge Trophy, an annual cup competition contested by amateur teams in men's Canadian soccer.[1] Ten teams played in the tournament, which took place from 9–14 October 2019 in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador.[2]
Each of Canada Soccer's thirteen provincial and territorial associations can send one representative to the Challenge Trophy, with teams generally qualifying through a regional preliminary series such as an open cup or league competition.[5]
For the 2019 tournament, nine provinces and one territory confirmed their participation.[6]
Competing teams are divided into two groups of five teams, playing against one another in a single round-robin and advancing to the final round based on their group positioning.
Tie-breaking criteria for group play
The following criteria shall be used to determine the final standings:[5]
Most points in all group matches;
Greater number of points in matches between the teams concerned (head-to-head competition);
Greater goal difference in all group matches;
Greater number of goals scored in all group matches;
Kicks from the penalty mark as per the Laws of the Game, at a time and place decided by the Canada Soccer General Coordinator.
The final round (known as Teck Finals Day for sponsorship reasons) consists of one game for each team, where they are paired with their equal-ranked opponent from the opposite group to determine a final ranking for the tournament.
