The Coupe Manier was a football competition in France that ran from 1897 until 1911. Only clubs that fielded no more than three foreigners were allowed to participate in the competition, which at the time was mainly British people living and residing in Paris. It was named in honor of the donor of the trophy, Mr. Manier, president of the Paris Star. In response to this condition, the Coupe Dewar was played, in which French clubs with multiple English players could participate.

The competition was initially dominated by Club Français, who won each of the first five editions between 1896 and 1900, beating the likes of Le Havre AC, the organizers Paris Star, RC Roubaix (twice), and UA I arrondissement in the finals. Français then won a sixth and last title in the 1902 edition, whose final was played on 4 January 1903, defeating Olympique Lillois in the final.
The finalists of the 1903 and 1904 editions were Gallia Club Paris and CA Paris, with the former winning in 1903 and the latter in 1904. Between 1905 and 1907, the Coupe Manier was awarded to the highest-ranked team in the Paris Championship, which was CA Paris in 1905, RC Paris in 1906, and AS Française in 1907; however, RC Paris did not meet the criteria to obtain the trophy, so CA Paris retained it. This rule was used again for its last edition in 1911.
