About the Foundry Cup
The Foundry Cup returns on January 31, 2026 at Pittsburgh Indoor Sports Arena, bringing high-speed indoor hybrid sixes to the Foundry floor. It has become one of the region’s most competitive and recognizable winter showcases, known for its intensity, fast play, and unmistakable Steel City energy.
What’s New for 2026
10U Division Added
The Foundry Cup now includes a full 10U division, expanding opportunities for younger athletes to compete on the Foundry floor.
Updated Bracket Structure
To support competitive balance in the 12U and 14U divisions, we’re introducing a two-bracket format:
A Bracket: most club-based teams or any roster combining more than two teams
B Bracket: school and rec-town teams
This structure ensures matchups that are appropriately aligned and fast-paced across all levels.
