In 1909, the Grey Cup,
was donated by the then Governor General of Canada, Lord Earl Grey, to
recognize the top amateur rugby football team in Canada. By this time
Canadian rugby had become markedly different from the rugby union
football from which it developed. Over time, the Grey Cup became the
property of the Canadian Football League (CFL) who had evolved as a
professional league that plays Canadian football. University football
teams now compete for the Vanier Cup.
