Cascadia Cup
The Cascadia Cup is a trophy that was created in 2004 by supporters of the Portland Timbers, Seattle Sounders FC and Vancouver Whitecaps FC. It is awarded to the club with the best record in MLS regular-season games versus the other participants. The Portland Timbers are the current Champions. Due to the offset schedule for the 2018 MLS season, the May 13 match against Seattle does not count towards the Cascadia Cup. [27]
