Trophy	The Apple Cup

The Apple Cup is the annual college football rivalry game between 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.

From 1950-80 (except for 1954), WSU hosted the game at Spokane's Joe Albi Stadium. The WSU Cougars won three of these fifteen games in Spokane (1958, 1968, 1972), and have won six of the fourteen played at Martin Stadium (1982, 1988, 1992, 1994, 2004, 2008).

Before 1962, the teams played for the "Governor's Trophy." 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 sometime 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^[2] since 2007.

The first rivalry game was held in 1900 and resulted in a tie between UW and WSU. From 1900 to 2008, there have been 101 games between the schools. The Huskies hold a 65-31-6 advantage. UW's longest winning streak has been eight games, achieved twice: (1959-66 and 1974-81). WSU has never won more than two consecutive Apple Cups, but the Cougars have won back-to-back games on eight separate occasions: (1929-30, 1953-54, 1957-58, 1967-68, 1972-73, 1982-83, 2004-05 and 2007-08). Although Washington currently leads the overall series, the Cougars have taken four of the past six meetings, which included a double-overtime win in 2008.^[3]

Washington currently holds the trophy, the Cougars were shut out 30-0 at Husky Stadium in 2009. It was UW's first shutout since 1964 (14-0). The 2010 Apple Cup is scheduled for December 4 in Pullman, the latest ever date for the Apple Cup, a game historically played in mid-November.
