- Olympic Cup
-
The Olympic Cup (French: Coupe Olympique) is an award given annually by the International Olympic Committee.
It was instituted by Pierre de Coubertin in 1906 and is awarded to an institution or association with a record of merit and integrity in actively developing the Olympic Movement.[1]
Its recipients have included amateur sports clubs, schools, newspapers and national sporting administrations, though it is primarily awarded to groups connected with the organization of the Olympic Games.
