The Somme Cup is a rugby trophy first won by a New Zealand Army team, known as the Trench Blacks, during World War I in 1917. It is claimed that around 60,000 people watched the match, which was won 40-0 by the New Zealand team. The cup depicts a soldier throwing a grenade, and was created by in 1917, a French sculptor in the French Army at the time. The cup has been in a private collection since it was first won in the War. In September 2015 the New Zealand Defence Force's rugby team, the Defence Blacks, played a commemorative match against a French team in Paris.
