PBA Philippine Cup

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 current holders of the Philippine Cup are the Talk 'N Text Tropang Texters.

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.
