Massachusetts Youth Soccer hosts the US Youth Soccer Massachusetts State Cups Tournament each year. This tournament brings together some of the best 12-U (9v9) to 19/20-U teams in Massachusetts. All teams must be properly registered with Mass Youth Soccer and all (12-U to 18-U) teams must compete in a Mass Youth Soccer approved qualifying league. The 12-U, 13-U and 14-U age divisions will be limited to 16 teams each. The 15-U to 19/20-U age divisions will be limited to a maximum 12 teams each.
In the 12-U through 19/20-U age divisions, all competition will be in a round robin format. Each age division will play the appropriate number of games in its bracket based on the number of teams in that bracket. Winners of each bracket, based on total points, will advance to the semi-final round of competition. No more than four (4) teams will advance to the semi-final round from each age division. For the 15-U through 19/20-U age divisions, the second place bracket finisher with the highest point total will advance to the semi-final round with the three bracket winners.
