Antim Cup

The Antim Cup (Georgian: ანთიმოზ ივერიელის თასი, romanized: antimoz iverielis tasi; Romanian: Cupa Antim Ivireanul) is contested between the rugby union teams of Romania (The Oaks) and Georgia ("The Lelos"). It is named in honor of Anthim the Iberian, a Georgian theologian who served as Metropolitan of Wallachia and was a significant cultural figure for both Romania and Georgia.

The Antim Cup is contested each time Georgia and Romania meet in a senior international match other than World Cup matches. The holder retains the cup unless the challenger wins the match in normal time.
