The Quigley Cup is a Canadian university volleyball championship conducted by Ontario University Athletics (OUA), and determines the women's conference champion. The champion then qualifies for the U Sports women's volleyball championship, which typically takes place on the following weekend.

History

[edit]

The championship was first contested after the 1971–72 season following the creation of the Ontario Women's Interuniversity Athletic Association (OWIAA) in June 1971.[1] The championship was renamed the Quigley Cup in February 2018, after Therese Quigley, who was a former volleyball player and coach as well as the director of athletics for McMaster University and the University of Western Ontario.[1][2]

From 1997 to 2020, the championship semi-finals and finals were played at the same site on the same weekend. After the 2020–21 season and Quigley Cup championship were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the OUA announced that the semi-finals and finals would take place on different weekends for the 2021–22 season.[3][4] The format was retained for the 2022–23 season onward, where the higher-seeded team would host the championship game.[5]
