The '''Spengler Cup''' is an annual invitational [[ice hockey]] tournament held in [[Davos]], Switzerland. First held in 1923, the Spengler Cup is often cited as the oldest invitational ice hockey tournament in the world. The event is hosted by the Swiss team [[HC Davos]] and played each year in Davos between 26 and 31 December. Currently, all games are held at the [[Eisstadion Davos]].

It was originally devised by Dr. [[Carl Spengler]] as a means to promote teams from [[Geographical distribution of German speakers#Europe|German-speaking Europe]], who might have suffered ostracism in the aftermath of [[World War I]]. Eventually, the tournament grew well beyond expectations. Many of Europe's most prestigious clubs and national programs have appeared, including Soviet, Czechoslovak, Swedish, German, and Finnish powerhouses. Through its history, club or national teams from 13 countries have won the tournament, with [[HC Davos]] tied with [[Canada men's national ice hockey team|Team Canada]] in winning the most cups as a club (16), while various teams from Switzerland have won the most cups for one country (22).

Among non-European organizations, Team Canada, [[United States men's national ice hockey team|Team USA]], nationally ranked [[College ice hockey|U.S. collegiate teams]], the reigning [[American Hockey League]]'s [[Calder Cup]] champion and the [[OHA Senior A League (1890–1979)|Ontario Hockey Association]]'s champion, and even [[Japan men's national ice hockey team|Team Japan]] (in 1971, building international experience before playing as hosts of the [[1972 Winter Olympics|1972 Sapporo Winter Olympics]]) have competed for the Spengler Cup. Since at least 1990, Team Canada has been the only participant from North America, with the exception of the AHL's [[Rochester Americans]] in [[1996 Spengler Cup|1996]] and [[2013 Spengler Cup|2013]]. Future [[AHL participation at the Spengler Cup|participation of the AHL]] has been discussed by tournament organisers and the league.<ref>{{Cite web |title=WILLIAMS: Developing a European audience – the AHL has eyes on Spengler Cup |url=https://eprinkside.com/2018/12/21/williams-developing-a-european-audience-the-ahl-has-eyes-on-spengler-cup |date=21 December 2018 |website=EP Rinkside |access-date=25 January 2024}}</ref>

In the [[2018 Spengler Cup|2018 tournament]], [[SM-liiga|Finland]]'s [[KalPa]] defeated [[Canada men's national ice hockey team|Team Canada]] 2–1 in the final. The game was decided in the eighth round of a [[Overtime (ice hockey)#International shootouts|shootout]], the first series of game-winning shots in tournament history that determined the winner of the Spengler Cup.

The Spengler Cup tournament was not played in 2020 or 2021 due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]]. In the [[2024 Spengler Cup|2024 tournament]], [[National League (ice hockey)|Switzerland]]'s [[HC Fribourg-Gottéron]] defeated [[Deutsche Eishockey Liga|Germany]]'s [[Straubing Tigers]] 7–2 in the final.

==History==
[[File:Spengler Cup.JPG|thumb|left|The former Spengler Cup trophy on display at the [[Hockey Hall of Fame]], [[Toronto]], [[Ontario]], Canada.]]
Many participating teams are club teams, rather than national teams, where a club team might have players from many nations on the roster. The first tournament was won in 1923 by the [[Oxford University Ice Hockey Club]], composed of [[Canadians]] studying at the [[University of Oxford]].<ref name=Pearson>''[[Isis magazine|The Isis]]'', 23 Jan. 1924, page 19. (Future [[List of prime ministers of Canada|Prime Minister of Canada]] [[Lester B. Pearson|Lester Pearson]] was a member of the [[Oxford University Ice Hockey Club|Oxford University team]] in the spring of 1923; however, he returned to Canada in the summer of 1923 and therefore did not compete in the first Spengler Cup played at the end of December 1923 and early January 1924. See: Pearson, Lester B. ''Mike : The Memoirs of the Right Honourable Lester B. Pearson''. [[Toronto]]: [[University of Toronto Press]], 1972, page 50.)</ref>

The first 24 tournaments were dominated by host [[HC Davos]] (7 wins, 12 runners-up) and the Czechoslovak club team [[LTC Praha|LTC Prague]] (7 wins, 2 runners-up). The LTC Prague team was shut down by the [[Czechoslovak Socialist Republic|Czechoslovak communist authorities]] after players [[1950 World Ice Hockey Championships|defected at the 1948 Spengler Cup tournament]]. Between 1965 and 1983, the tournament was dominated by various [[Czechoslovak Socialist Republic|Czechoslovak]] and [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] teams. Since joining the tournament in 1984, [[Canada men's national ice hockey team|Team Canada]] has been the dominant participant, with 16 wins and 10 runners-up. Team Canada is made up of Canadians predominantly playing in Europe, as the tournament occurs during the [[National Hockey League|NHL]] and [[American Hockey League|AHL]] seasons, though active NHL stars [[Joe Thornton]] and [[Rick Nash]] played for HC Davos during the [[2004–05 NHL lockout]].

From its inception until 1978, the tournament was played on an [[Ice hockey rink|outdoor rink]]. The outdoor rink still exists outside the indoor arena, and is one of the largest outdoor rinks in the world. Starting in 1978, all tournament games have been played indoors. 

The Spengler Cup was cancelled in 2020 due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]]. While the tournament was scheduled to return in 2021, Team Canada withdrew from the competition due to problems scheduling a quarantine isolation period before the start of play, and [[HC Ambrì-Piotta]] withdrew from the competition due to COVID-19 cases among the club's players.<ref>{{Cite web|date=20 December 2021|title=Hockey Canada withdraws from 2021 Spengler Cup, citing COVID-19 concerns|url=https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/article/hockey-canada-withdraws-2021-spengler-cup-citing-covid-19-concerns/|access-date=21 December 2021|website=Sportsnet}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|date=20 December 2021|title=Canada and Ambri are replaced, Slovan Bratislava moves up|url=https://www.spenglercup.ch/en/news/canada-and-ambri-are-replaced-slovan-bratislava-moves|access-date=21 December 2021|work=SpenglerCup.ch}}</ref> The 2021 event was ultimately cancelled on 25 December due to COVID cases within HC Davos.<ref>{{Cite web|date=25 December 2021|last=Ellis|first=Steven|title=Spengler Cup Cancelled for Second Straight Year|url=https://thehockeynews.com/news/spengler-cup-cancelled-for-second-straight-year|access-date=30 December 2021|website=The Hockey News|language=en}}</ref>

===Sponsorship===
The Spengler Cup is the second-largest sporting event in Switzerland, after tennis' [[Swiss Indoors]] in Basel. The tournament had a budget of [[Swiss franc|CHF]] 11 million in 2016. About 40% of the total tournament budget amount comes from corporate sponsors.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.bernerzeitung.ch/sport/hockey/Ein-Berner-vermarktet-den-SpenglerCup/story/31089602|title=Ein Berner vermarktet den Spengler-Cup|last=Ruch|first=Fabian|date=2015-12-23|work=[[Berner Zeitung]]|access-date=2017-07-25|language=de|issn=1424-1021}}</ref> Since 1985, [[UBS]] has been the main sponsor and presenting partner of the Spengler Cup.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.spenglercup.ch/en/sponsors/presenting-gold-partner|title=Presenting and gold partner – Spengler Cup|website=www.spenglercup.ch|access-date=2017-07-25}}</ref> Other current major sponsors are [[Würth]], Schenker Storen, [[Škoda Auto|Škoda]], [[Calanda Bräu|Calanda]], and Hostpoint.ch – each of whom, along with UBS, are the main tournament sponsor of one of the six teams each year.

==International broadcasts==
