Basketball Coupe de France
Tropheé Joë Jaunay
Trophée Coupe de France féminine

The competition was played once more in the 1959-60 season. (The list of all the winners from the various competitions including the youth one can be found on our Coupe de France basketball honours page.)

From 1960 until 1995 the competition was not played at a national level.

Bourges Basket are regular visitors to Paris Bercy

In 1995 the competition became national with all the teams in France having the right to participate. However during the 2004-2005 season the competition was modified and split into two competitions.

However the finalists from the Trophée Coupe de France féminine are also allowed to participate in this competition.

The amateur version of the French cup is open to all the other teams in France. There are a number of regional qualification rounds before the first round proper of this competition.

The French Basketball Federation rewards the finalists with allowing them also to participate in the competition for Joë Jaunay if they are not promoted into NF1. Once they are eliminated from this competition they are reintegrated into the amateur version.

The third national basketball cup competition is known as the Cadette Cup (Coupe de l’Avenir). This competition is restricted to players in the under 18 categories and the name of the trophy tends to take on the sponsor name.

Starting from January 2010, all the news from the Trophée Joë Jaunay are consolidated on this page.

We will start to cover the two other Cup competitions in detail from the quarter-final stage, although we might have some reports from early rounds.
