The Mann Cup is the trophy awarded to the senior men's box lacrosse champions of Canada. The title is decided in a best of seven series between the champions of Major Series Lacrosse in the East and the Western Lacrosse Association in the West. Sir Donald Mann donated the trophy in 1910, when it began as a challenge cup, and in 1925 the champion New Westminster Salmonbellies handed it to the Canadian Lacrosse Association, which set up a national playoff. Box lacrosse replaced field rules for the series in 1932. The original solid gold cup now rests in the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame.
