The Yates Cup (French: La Coupe Yates) is a Canadian sports trophy, presented annually to the winner of the Ontario University Athletics football conference of U Sports.

It is the oldest still-existing football trophy in North America, dating back to 1898 and surpassing both the Grey Cup and the Little Brown Jug in longevity.

[2] Until 1971 it was awarded to the winner of the Senior Intercollegiate Football League regular season, with playoffs occurring only if there was a tie for first place, or the second-place team had defeated the first-place team in league play.

In 1980, the Cup returned to a single winner when the Eastern Division formed the independent OQIFC.

Note*: McGill entered the Quebec Conference in 1971 and stopped competing for the Yates Cup.
