Kings' Cup (United States)
The Kings' Cup was a rivalry between Louisville City FC, Lou City and Saint Louis FC, members of the USL Championship.

LouCity won the match 2–0, setting the tone for the rivalry, with STLFC only winning twice as of July 18th, 2020, and only earning one USL Playoffs appearance a ...
