On the road to the National Championships, Central City Breakers FC beat Rino's FC Tigers Vancouver in the 2019 BC Province Cup Final.
Each of Canada Soccer's thirteen provincial and territorial associations can send one representative to the Challenge Trophy, with teams generally qualifying through a regional preliminary series such as an open cup or league competition.[4]
For the 2019 tournament, nine provinces and one territory confirmed their participation.[5]
Competing teams are divided into two groups of five teams, playing against one another in a single round-robin and advancing to the final round based on their group positioning.
Tie-breaking criteria for group play
The following criteria shall be used to determine the final standings:[4]
