User:The C of E/List of sponsored sports competitions

This is a list of sports competitions that are named after a sponsor. Sports competition organising bodies sometimes sell their names to increase revenue for themselves and their member teams although this is often frowned upon by some sports organisations such as UEFA who ban sponsors' names to be used when addressing a competition. If the original name box is blank that means the competition from being formed has always had a sponsor name.
