Brimstone Cup

The Brimstone Cup is a soccer trophy awarded to the yearly winner of the Major League Soccer rivalry between Chicago Fire FC and FC Dallas.

If the two teams have the same points against each other at the end of the year (including MLS regular season and playoff games and the U.S. Open Cup), then the cup stays with the team holding it at the beginning of the year.

The cup was created during the 2001 season by the supporters' groups of both clubs, Section 8 from Chicago and the Inferno from Dallas.

The name is reflected with a quote from Virgil's Aeneid engraved on the base: "The more the kindled combat rises high'r, The more with fury burns the blazing fire."
