The Dunsmore Cup (French: Coupe Dunsmore) is a Canadian sports trophy which was presented annually to the winner of the university-level football competition conducted by Réseau du sport étudiant du Québec (RSEQ) between 1980 and 2005.[a]
The Cup was first awarded in 1980 to the winner of the Ontario-Quebec Interuniversity Football Conference and, upon re-organization into the Quebec Intercollegiate Football Conference (later the Quebec University Football League and now part of RSEQ), continued to be awarded as the Quebec conference's championship.[2]
The winner of the Dunsmore Cup goes on to play in either the Uteck Bowl or the Mitchell Bowl national semi-final, depending on annual rotations.
The Dunsmore Cup was donated by Bob Dunsmore of Queen's University, a 1915 Engineering graduate.[citation needed]
As of the 2025 season, the RSEQ championship is for the new Jacques Dussault Cup.[3]
