The Milwaukee Cup is a traveling trophy awarded to the winner of the annual men's soccer match between the Marquette Golden Eagles and the Milwaukee Panthers. The two universities are both in the city of Milwaukee and are just four miles apart.
Milwaukee leads the all-time series, 31–13–7, since the first meeting in 1973. Marquette currently holds the cup after a 1-0 victory at Valley Fields September 22, 2026. In the event of a draw, the cup remains in possession of the school holding it previously.
Cup matches between 2006-23 took on a heightened sense of rivalry due to Louis Bennett accepting the head coaching position at Marquette after 10 years as head coach at Milwaukee. Bennett retired from Marquette's program after the 2023 season.
The cup match stands as one of the few examples of a true derby in American soccer.
