Prague, Czechia set to host Ken Galluccio Cup from 2025-27

Prague, Czechia is set to host the Ken Galluccio Cup for the next two years after the European Lacrosse Federation announced the winners of the latest round of host bids.

From 2025-27, LCC Radotin, based in Prague, will host the annual men’s and women’s field lacrosse competition that gathers domestic champions from several countries, including Germany, Netherlands, and Sweden, to decide which team is Europe’s best.

Over the past two years, Barcelona Lacrosse in Spain has hosted the Ken Galluccio Cup and, despite receiving another bid from Spain and one from Poland, LCC Radotin from Prague, Czechia were chosen to host the competition going forwards.

Running roughly on an annual basis since 2008 and originally named the Champions Cup, the tournament was renamed the Ken Galluccio Cup as a tribute to its creator after his death in 2009 and it is the largest European lacrosse tournament with teams from over 15 countries taking part.

Prague previously hosted the tournament in 2012 with the competition also being held in Hamburg (2008, 2010), Manchester (2011), Ghent (2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019), and Barcelona (2022, 2023, 2024).

English teams have traditionally performed well at the Ken Galluccio Cup, winning nine out of the 13 titles in the men’s competition.

In the women’s competition, Blues Lacrosse Club are the reigning champions with Oxton and Centaurs also winning in 2014 and 2019 respectively.
