Background
The establishment of Forest City London prior to the 2009 Premier Development League season brought the number of PDL teams in Ontario to four. With American PDL sides starting their season earlier than their Canadian counterparts in order to take part in US Open Cup qualifying,[1] the Canadian PDL teams decided to establish the Victoria Challenge Cup. As of 2009, the Victoria Challenge Cup does not act as qualifying for the Canadian equivalent to the US Open Cup, the Canadian Championship.
The tournament did not take place in 2010 and has lapsed since then.
Participating teams
Format
In 2009, the four competing clubs played a round robin tournament in Ottawa. Toronto Lynx and Forest City London did not play each other in Ottawa, but their PDL regular season match completed the tournament schedule.
