The Queen's Cup (Dutch: Koninginnebeker) (alternatively named the King's Cup (Dutch: Koningsbeker) if the monarch is male) is Dutch football's annual match contested between the respective champions of the previous Eredivisie and Eredivisie II seasons. Based heavily on England's FA Community Shield match, the match's venue, since the tournament's foundation in 1957, has traditionally alternated between the Johan Cruyff Arena and the King Frederick Stadium, the largest stadiums in the country's northern and southern regions respectively. The competition's official motto is "Where Excellence Prevails" (Dutch: "Waar uitmuntendheid heerst").
Organised by the Royal Dutch Football Association, the match has normally been held to determine the "national winner" from the country's two separate but equally-ranked top domestic football leagues, the Eredivisie and Eredivisie II, with the winning team usually being crowned Nationale Kampioenen or "National Champions". In the meantime, proceeds from the game are otherwise distributed to community initiatives and charity organisations around the country, as well as to the other clubs in the Eredivisie and Eredivisie II.
Established in 1957, in line with the foundation of the Eredivisie the year before, its first edition was contested at the end of the 1956-57 season, with Eredivisie champions, Ajax winning the match 4-2 via penalty shootouts following a 3-3 tie against Eredivisie II champions, Royal Antwerp. Meanwhile, the current holders are Royal Antwerp, whom defeated Feyenoord 2-1 to win their first title in the competition.
Statistically, the competition is dominated by four Dutch football clubs, namely Ajax, PSV Eindhoven, Feyenoord, and Anderlecht, with the latter being the only one out of the four to come from the Eredivisie II. However, out of all of the competition's ten certified winners to date, five of them come from the Eredivisie while the remaining five otherwise come from Eredivisie II.
