The Miner's Cup is the trophy awarded to the winner of the college football game between the Northern Michigan University (NMU) Wildcats and the Michigan Technological University (Michigan Tech/MTU) Huskies. There has been a rivalry between the two teams since 1920, but the tradition of a "traveling trophy" between the two schools has only been around since 2002; Tech has won the trophy ten out of a possible 13 times since the tradition was begun.[1]

History
A rivalry between the two universities has been around since 1920.[2][3] Since then, they have met 89 times, with the series record at 43-41-5 in Michigan Tech's favor. The tradition of a "traveling trophy" did not begin until 2002, when Michigan Tech’s Athletics Department and its Army ROTC combined to create it. The trophy itself is an antique miner's helmet mounted on a wooden base. The helmet was found at an antique store in the Houghton, Michigan area.[4]
