The Colonial Cup is an international rugby league football challenge match played between the United States Tomahawks and the Canada Wolverines. The inaugural match was played in September 2010 at the Richardson Memorial Stadium at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. The USA Tomahawks won 22âÂÂ16.
In 2011 the Colonial Cup was expanded to a 'home and away' series. Each team won their home fixture. The U.S. won the first game 18âÂÂ2 with Canada securing their first win in the second match with an 18âÂÂ16 victory. The U.S. won the series by an aggregate score of 34âÂÂ20. In 2012, the Cup was again contested over 2 games, with the USA Tomahawks winning both games. In 2013 the series expanded to a best 2 of 3 series. In 2014 Canada won their first ever Colonial Cup trophy.
Note that in a year where each team wins an even number of games, the winner of the cup is decided by aggregate scores.
