BACKGROUND

The Cascadia Cup represents one of the most passionate derby rivalries in North America.

Known for the region of North America that Vancouver, Seattle, and Portland represent, the Cascadia Cup was created by the supporters of Vancouver Whitecaps FC, Seattle Sounders FC, and Portland Timbers.
