Governor General's Trophy
The Governor General's Trophy is an interprovincial double rink men's competition, played since 1874. The double rinks (comprised of two teams) compete as one using a cumulative points system to determine the game winner.
Today, there are two playdowns, with the Ottawa Valley Curling Association producing one finalist and Curling Quebec the other. These teams compete for the Governor General's Trophy, with the final traditionally played in Ottawa.
