Doddie Weir Cup
The Doddie Weir Cup was established as a perpetual rugby union trophy between Scotland and Wales in 2018. The cup was created to bring awareness to motor neurone disease. Former Scotland international lock Doddie Weir was diagnosed with illness and the cup was named in his honour.
Wales won 21–10 in the inaugural match in Cardiff in November 2018 and are the current holders, having won 18–11 in the teams' meeting in Edinburgh during the 2019 Six Nations Championship.
Design
The cup was commissioned jointly by the SRU and WRU and designed by the Edinburgh silversmiths Hamilton and Inches.Doddie Weir said of the trophy that the silversmiths "have done an absolutely fantastic job in making it with some big handles to emulate my massive ears!".
Charity
Weir set up a charity called My Name'5 Doddie Foundation to help fund treatments for motor neurone disease.Neither the Welsh Rugby Union nor the Scottish Rugby Union originally intended to contribute any of the gate receipts from the inaugural match to the charity, but pressure from fans and in the media resulted in them eventually donating a six-figure sum.
