The Manning Cup

The Manning Cup is an annual football competition played between high schools located in the Kingston, St Andrew and and St Catherine parishes of Jamaica. It is a highly anticipated event sparking intense rivalry between the schools. The competition is named after William Henry Manning, who served as Governor of Jamaica between from 1913 to 1918. The first games were played in 1909. It was won by Jamaica College, Jamaica's third oldest school, established in 1789. The school has since won the most cups since the competition began.
