The President’s Cup was launched in London in 2014 to promote SAMBO both within the Commonwealth and wider world.

The first President of the Commonwealth Association was the Marquess of Reading who presided over the first event in London 2014. The second President’s Cup was in Manchester 2015. Michael Wynne-Parker succeeded Lord Reading at the 2016 President’s Cup in Edinburgh and presided over the fourth President’s Cup in London 2017, and the fifth President’s Cup in Ballymena, Northern Ireland.

The prestigous trophy “President´s Cup“  was designed by Timur Kabukaev and manufactured by his company Jewellers of the North who generously donated it to the Commonwealth SAMBO Association.
