The World Military Cup is a football competition for national military teams. It is organized by the International Military Sports Council (CISM). The tournament has been held since 1946 and was originally called the World Military Championship until the name changed for the 2001 edition. When the multi-sport Military World Games were established in 1995, the football championship was incorporated into it; however, it continues to be held independently every two years.
