TNA Wrestling has hosted X Cup Tournaments in 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006. 2003 and 2005 featured Super X Cup Tournaments where the winners were determined by one-on-one matches. 2004 and 2006 featured Team X Cup Tournaments (America's X Cup/World X Cup) where Teams from around the World competed for their respective countries.
TNA Wrestling has worked with Border City Wrestling, Asistencia Asesoria y Administracion, and New Japan Pro Wrestling for their X Cup Tournaments. In the past, Team USA has represented both the National Wrestling Alliance and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling as its own promotion. Team USA, Team Mexico, and Team Canada have been the most prominent Teams in the past X Cup Tournaments.
