A cup handed to every player in an under‑9s side and a cup lifted at the senior presentation are the same shape doing two different jobs. Plastic covers the first at volume; metal, silver and gold are what the second is made of.
Cups
The Award That
Gets Held Up
Trophy cups for Australian clubs and schools, from a 125mm junior cup to a 600mm premiership piece — plastic, metal, silver and gold. Engraved in our own workshop in Shepparton, and available in one series across every size so a whole competition matches.

Delivery
Know what you need?
Pick the series, then the height. Most cups here come in four or five sizes, so the same cup covers under‑10s and the open grade without looking like two different awards.
Cupping a whole competition?
Send us the grades and the numbers. We’ll quote the season in one go, engrave every band, and keep the series on file so next year’s cups match this year’s.
The range
What it’s made of, and how far it has to carry.
Every player gets one
Plastic Cups
The junior and volume end, from a 125mm cup on a base up to 330mm. Light enough for a six-year-old to hold up and cheap enough to give the whole side one.
Weight in the hand
Metal Cups
Where a cup starts feeling like an award. Metal bowls on timber or resin bases, in silver and gold finishes, for club champion and best and fairest rather than for the whole team.
340mm to 600mm
Prestige Cups
The big ones. Sentinel, Monza, Vittoria and Arsenal all sit above half a metre — the premiership cup, the one that goes in the photograph and then back in the cabinet.
Handed over on stage
Presentation Cups
Hunter and Ribbon series, from 245mm to 440mm across six heights. Built for a presentation night where the awards are graded and the difference has to read from the back of the room.
Your crest on it
Logo Cups
The Firefly series in six colourways, made to take your club logo on the front of the bowl rather than only on the engraved band beneath it.
Something less traditional
Designer Cups
Clarion, Angel and Citadel — cup proportions with a modern shape, for corporate awards and clubs that would rather not hand out the same trophy their grandparents did.
Sizing
One series, four heights, a whole competition.
Cups are the one award where the same design runs the full ladder. Order one series across every grade and the under‑10s cup and the open-grade cup read as the same competition, just different scale — which is the point of a cup and the reason not to mix series.
125–200mm
Junior and participation
Every player on the list. The Gold Cup starts at 125mm, Cup on Base at 150mm, and the Carnival series runs 155 to 195mm.
200–300mm
Age group winners
The working middle of the range. Clarion, Firefly and Tiger all start at 215mm, and the Champion series steps 165 through to 330mm.
300–450mm
Club champion
Visible from a stage and still liftable. Angel runs 330 to 405mm, Ribbon Cups to 425mm, Hunter to 440mm.
450–600mm
The premiership cup
One or two per competition. Scimitar from 460mm, Arsenal to 560mm, Sentinel to 590mm, and the Prestige Cup to 600mm.

Same cup, four heights
The grade is readable before anyone gets close enough to read it
How a club order runs
Pick the series once. Order the heights every season.
01
Send the grades and the numbers
Which grades get a cup, how many in each, and what the top award is. Last year’s presentation program tells us most of it.
02
We set the series and the ladder
One series across every grade, stepped by height, with the premiership or club champion cup sitting clearly above the rest. Locked in as your club’s standard and held on file.
03
You approve the proof
Nothing is engraved until you sign off the band layout and the spelling of every name and grade on the list.
04
We engrave and check
Bands engraved in our own workshop, fitted, then checked back against your list so no grade goes home without its cup.
05
Next season, one phone call
Same series, same heights, new names. It comes back matching the cups you handed out last year.
Volume
A season is cheaper ordered once than four times.
Most clubs order grade by grade as each season ends, and pay a setup on every one. Order the whole competition together — same series, different heights and engraving — and it is one setup, one freight charge and one proof to approve.
Tell us the grades and the numbers and we’ll price the season rather than the batch.

On file
Most cups come back next year.
A club cup usually isn’t handed over for good. It goes back in the cabinet, gains a plate on the base, and comes out again at the next presentation. We keep the series, the heights and the band layout on file under your club’s name, so adding to it is a phone call rather than a fresh decision.
Series and heights held against each grade, not re-chosen each year
Perpetual cups re-plated, and re-based when the base runs out of room
Band and plate layout kept identical season to season
A replacement for a damaged or misspelt cup, one at a time
Getting it right
What to work out before you order.
Cups are forgiving on most things and unforgiving on two: how tall the top one is, and whether the whole competition came from the same series.
Start here
Which grades get a cup
Count the grades, not the players. Then decide which single award sits above all of them — that one choice sets the top of the ladder and the budget.
Size
How tall the top cup should be
Height carries from the back of a hall; engraved detail does not. Above 600mm you are paying freight rather than buying meaning.
Wording
What goes on the band
Recipient, award title, organisation, year — in that order, roughly 20–40 characters a line. A cup band gives you less room than a plate, so short titles win.
Artwork
What logo file to send
Vector artwork holds up best at band and insert size. If all you have is the logo off your website, send it anyway — we’ll tell you whether it will work.
Questions
Cup questions.
How big do trophy cups go?
Six hundred millimetres, on the Prestige Cup. Above that the Sentinel, Monza, Vittoria and Arsenal series all sit between 460mm and 590mm. At the other end a plastic Gold Cup starts at 125mm, so the stocked range runs 125mm to 600mm in total.
Can we get the same cup in different sizes for different grades?
That is what most series are built for. The Champion Cup runs five heights from 165mm to 330mm, Hunter runs six from 260mm to 440mm, and the Prestige Cup steps 340mm to 600mm. Order one series across the whole competition and the grades read as a ladder rather than as unrelated awards.
Is the engraving included?
Yes — engraving is free on the cups we sell. Send the names and grades, we set the band out, email you a digital proof, and engrave once you have signed it off. Nothing is cut before then.
What is the difference between a plastic cup and a metal one?
Weight and what it costs. Plastic covers the junior and participation end where every player gets one and the cup has to be light enough for a child to hold up. Metal is where a cup starts to feel like an award — club champion, best and fairest, the premiership. Plenty of clubs run both in the same night.
Can you put our club logo on the cup?
Yes. The Logo Cup series takes your crest on the front of the bowl, and any cup can carry the logo on the engraved band or an insert in the base. Send the logo once and we hold the artwork on file so later orders match.
Can a cup be a perpetual award?
Most club cups end up being one. The cup goes back in the cabinet and gains a name plate on the base each season. When the base runs out of room we re-base it rather than start a second cup, so the record stays on the one trophy. Our perpetual awards guide covers how to keep it.
Someone’s name was spelled wrong, or a cup was damaged. Can we get one?
Yes. Because the series, height and band layout are on file we can produce a single replacement that matches the rest of the set exactly.
How long do cups take?
It depends on stock, on how much engraving is involved and on whether anything is being made to order. Tell us your presentation date when you enquire and we will tell you honestly whether it is achievable — before you order, not after.
What do cups cost?
It moves with the series, the height and the quantity, so a real number needs the specifics. Send the grades, the numbers and your presentation date and you will get a written quote rather than a range.
Do you deliver Australia-wide?
Yes, Australia-wide. Orders are engraved in our own workshop in Shepparton, Victoria, and regional and interstate clubs are most of what we ship.
Order for your club
Send us the grades. We’ll quote the season.
Which grades get a cup, roughly how many, and what the top award is. That is enough to start. You’ll get a written quote with the series and heights set against each grade, and nothing is engraved until you have approved the proof.
