PBA Philippine Cup

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Philippine Cup is the award given at PBA's all-Filipino conference. The tournament does not allow teams to hire foreign players or imports. Prior to 2004-05 season, the tournament was then known as the PBA All-Filipino Cup. The Philippine Cup is the most prestigious tournament in a PBA season.

The Philippine Cup also refers to the trophy awarded to the champion team of the tournament.

The current holders of the Philippine Cup are the Sta. Lucia Realtors.

The champion for the 2006-07 tournament shall receive a new trophy worth PHP 500,000 and made up of 14-karat gold, in which they can keep for a year. After that, they will receive a replica of the new trophy. If a team wins three consecutive tournaments, the franchise gets to keep the trophy and not the replica.[1] The trophy is named after former PBA commissioner Jun Bernardino.[2]

In the history of the league, no team was able to win the All-Filipino conference three consecutive times, although the Crispa Redmanizers won back-to-back twice (1976-77, 1983-84), while the Great Taste Coffee Makers won consecutive championships on 1984 and 1985. In fact, Great Taste's 1985 championship was the last successful title defense; all champions since 1985 weren't able to successfully defend their title.

All seasons except 1981 had an All-Filipino conference. The 1984 season had two All-Filipino conferences.
