The Canada Cup International Wheelchair Rugby Tournament was created in 2004 by BC Wheelchair Sports Association in order to provide another elite competition opportunity in wheelchair rugby. Canada Cup takes place biannually and is considered the most prestigious wheelchair rugby tournament outside of a World Championship or Paralympic Games.
From 2004 to 2008, Canada Cup was held in British Columbia. In 2010, Montreal graciously hosted the event, since BC was preparing to host 2010 World Wheelchair Rugby Championships. This year, the event will return to BC bigger and better than ever, as the eight teams competing in the Paralympic Games look to gain the final advantage leading into London.
