In 1909, the Grey Cup was donated by the then Governor General of Canada, the Earl Grey, to recognize the top amateur rugby football team in Canada.

Recently, the Canadian Football League considered renaming the Grey Cup with the name of a corporate sponsor. Many CFL traditionalists have objected to the idea, claiming that the league should not exchange a historical, national treasure for short-term profit.
