2023 Arucian Cup

The Arucian Cup is an annual club football competition organised by the Arucian Football Association and contested by top-division Arucian clubs, deciding the competition winners through a round robin group stage to determine seeding for a single-elimination knockout format, ending in a final. It is the premier Arucian football tournament in the world and the most prestigious club competition in Arucian football, played by the national league champions of each member football league.

In its present format, the Arucian Cup begins a week after the conclusion of the final playoff matches of its member leagues in late September. The winner of each final match proceeds to the conference round where the 8 qualifying teams are drawn by conference into two groups of four teams. They play each other in a single round-robin system to determine seeding for the knockout phase that culminates with the final match six weeks later in November.

Chloesian clubs have the highest number of victories (XX wins), followed by Ardesia (XX wins) and Satucin (XX wins). Sainte-Chloé has the largest number of winning teams, with eight clubs having won the title. The competition has been won by XX clubs, XX of which have won it more than once, and two successfully defended their title. FC Sainte-Chloé is the most successful club in the tournament's history, having won it a total of seven times. Porto Sotiri FC is the only club who won all of their matches in a single tournament en route to the tournament victory. AFF Vaxholmen from the Eilitliga are the current champions, having beaten Canicule Suns from the Football Union in the 2022 final.
