The Stanley Cup is the championship trophy awarded annually to the National Hockey League (NHL) playoff champion.

The trophy was commissioned in 1892 as the Dominion Hockey Challenge Cup and is named after Lord Stanley of Preston, the governor general of Canada, who donated it as an award to Canada's top-ranking amateur ice hockey club.
