The Victoria Cup is a rugby union competition in Africa. Three teams, Kenya, Uganda (The Rugby Cranes) and Zimbabwe (The Sables) compete for this Cup in a format similar to that of the Tri Nations. The competition is administered by Confederation of African Rugby (CAR).
Just as the Bledisloe Cup (Australia and New Zealand), Freedom Cup (New Zealand and South Africa) and Mandela Challenge Plate (Australia and South Africa) have been subsumed into the Tri Nations and as the Calcutta Cup (England and Scotland) is now part of the Six Nations, so the pre-existing Elgon Cup between Kenya and Uganda will, from now on, be played for within this new competition.
