The NWSL Challenge Cup is an annual supercup competition organized by the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL), the top-tier women's league in the United States soccer league system. The current (2024) cup holders are the San Diego Wave FC after defeating NJ/NY Gotham FC through an Alex Morgan goal in the 88th minute.
The NWSL Challenge Cup was first held in 2020 as a one-off tournament to mark the league's return to action from the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] It was the first top-tier professional sports league in the United States to restart after COVID-19 lockdowns began.[3] Subsequently, the NWSL announced that it would return as an annual league cup competition.[4] After the 2023 season, the NWSL announced that the Challenge Cup would change from a league cup to a supercup starting in 2024.[5]
