One of the nation's oldest tournaments in any sport, the U.S. Open Cup also holds a place as one of the world's longest continuously-running soccer competitions dating back to the inaugural run in 1914. Updates on the tournament - including live scores and the competition's bracket - can be found on the tournament's official Twitter (@OpenCup) and unofficial tracker (@USOpenCup) as well as on USSoccer.com and thecup.us.

Prizes for this year's tournament include increases of $300,000 for the champion (previously $250,000); $100,000 for the runner-up (previously $60,000) and $25,000 for the team from each lower division that advances the furthest (previously $15,000), including PDL & NPSL sides. Besides lifting the historic Dewar Trophy as tournament winner in September, the champions will also earn a spot in the 2019 CONCACAF Champions League, the regional club championship tournament for teams from North America, Central America and the Caribbean.
