Tunney Cup

The Royal Marines Annual Football Competition began in 1928, following the presentation of a challenge cup – the USMC Challenge Trophy – to the Corps of Royal Marines, from the United States Marine Corps, in the hope that the cup would be competed for by RM association football teams. The Royal Marines named the cup the "Tunney Cup," in honour of the presenter, US Navy Captain J.J. "Gene" Tunney, a former US Marine and former world heavyweight boxing champion.
