Governors Cup VIII
What began as a fun idea: “playing soccer on the beautiful grass of Governors Island” has grown to become NYCs most in-demand soccer tournament.
The annual event has grown to welcome 100 teams, 1,000 players and loads of spectators* over two days in June.
*Spectators are welcome to enjoy the action for free—just be aware that by attending, you assume all risks (including the occasional flying soccer ball)!
Spectators can attend for free. Just show up.

Due to the demand of the Governors Cup, which usually fills up very quickly with full teams,, we reserve only a few teams worth of free agents on the Sunday tournament date.
You may register as an individual or with friends. Space permitting, you may register at your desired skill division (P1-P5).
PRE-SALE OPENS SOON
After the games, we head to back to the mainland for an after party at the historical watering hole capital of NYC: Stone Street at Route 66 Smokehouse!
