Champion of Champions

Commencing in 1968, the Champion of Champions tournament is one of the most prestigious tournaments in the footballing calendar, with champions from each Football NSW association pitted against each other in a battle for supremacy.

To represent Football Canterbury at the Champion of Champions tournaments, a club has to have met the eligibility criteria. In most occasions, this is simply by winning the league premiership.
