The '''49th Parallel Cup''' (formerly PanAm Cup) is an annual representative [[Australian rules football]] match between the [[United States]] and [[Canada]] first contested in 1999.<ref>Brian Barrish (22 June 2022). [https://usafl.com/news/20220622/revos-announce-squad-2022-49th-parallel-cup "Revos Announce Squad for 2022 49th Parallel Cup"]. </ref> Since 2007 the women's teams have also contested the cup.<ref>Tobietta Rhyman (26 July 2011).

''National Post''.</ref>

The men's matches are contested between the United States men's team ("The [[United States of America (Australian rules football National Team)|Revolution]]") and Canada's men's team ("The [[Canada national Australian rules football team|Northwind]]") while the women's matches are contested between the United States women's team ("The [[United States women's national Australian rules football team|Freedom]]") and Canada's women's team ("The [[Canada national Australian rules football team|Northern Lights]]").

The cup is historically paused during the [[Australian Football International Cup]] year to enable the countries to compete at that tournament. Between 2015 and 2021 the cup went into recess for several reasons, primarily due to the [[2017 Australian Football International Cup]] followed by the [[COVID-19 pandemic]].
