From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1914–15 National Challenge Cup was the second tournament of the modern-day Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. Many more teams - 80 - competed in 1915 after the success of the 1913–14 tournament. St. Louis and California were the only major soccer-playing regions without a representative. Bethlehem won the tournament.
