      History


      In 1923, the United States Football Association established the National Amateur Cup in response to the growing number of teams entering the open National Challenge Cup. The 1923 competition was played through the semifinals; however, the tournament was never completed due to inclement weather. In 1924 Fleisher Yarn was crowned as the first amateur champion in the United States. St. Louis Kutis S.C. is the most successful amateur club having won the National Amateur Cup seven times.
      While the USSF originally managed the competition, that responsibility is now held by the United States Adult Soccer Association (USASA).


      Format
