Trophy The Apple Cup
Washington governor Chris Gregoire prepares to present the Apple Cup to the winner of the 2007 Apple Cup.

The Apple Cup is the trophy awarded to the winner of an American college football rivalry game played annually by the teams of the two largest universities in the U.S. state of Washington: the University of Washington (UW) Huskies and the Washington State University (WSU) Cougars. It is traditionally the final game of the regular season and takes place on the Saturday preceding Thanksgiving at Husky Stadium in Seattle during odd years, and WSU's Martin Stadium in Pullman during even years, but with college football season extending, the game is often played at a later date.

Series history[edit]

From 1950 to 1980 (except for 1954), the WSU home games in the series were played at Spokane's Joe Albi Stadium. The WSU Cougars won three of these fifteen games in Spokane (1958, 1968, 1972), and have won seven of the fifteen played at Martin Stadium (1982, 1988, 1992, 1994, 2004, 2008, 2012).

Before 1962, the teams played for the "Governor's Trophy.[1]" The game was renamed the "Apple Cup" in 1962 because of Washington's famous apple crop. The Apple Cup trophy has been awarded to the winning team ever since.

With the lengthening of the college football regular season schedule to 12 games in 2006, there was a movement to change the date of the Apple Cup from the weekend before Thanksgiving to the weekend following. This would have allowed a bye week during the season. In the 2006 season, both teams played 12 straight weeks without a break, leaving the two teams noticeably fatigued. For the first time, the 2007 edition of the Apple Cup was played two days after Thanksgiving.

The Apple Cup has been sponsored by Boeing since 2007.[2]

The first rivalry game was held in 1900 and resulted in a tie between UW and WSU. From 1900 to 2011, there have been 104 games between the schools. The Huskies were the home team 58 times (all in Seattle). The Cougars were the home team 46 times (31 in Pullman, 15 in Spokane). The Huskies hold a 67–32–6 advantage.
