Cup Manager is a tournament management system for organisers of sports tournaments and cups. Organisers work in a desktop application for PC and Mac, and all data is stored on our servers in the cloud, so several people can work on the same tournament from different computers. It handles the whole tournament in one place: team registration, payment by card, Klarna and Swish, draws and group allocation, match scheduling, referees, accommodation and meals, check-in, result reporting and live results. Every tournament also gets its own website and can get its own mobile app for iPhone and Android.

Cup Manager is part of Invite AS and has been on the market since 2010. The system has largely been built together with sports clubs and tournament organisers in Sweden and Norway. Our sister product Superinvite is used by up to 1,000 clubs to collect training and membership fees. Cup Manager's Swedish office is in Lund.

More than 3,600 tournaments have been run with Cup Manager, and the system has more than 378,000 users. In 2023 alone, Cup Manager handled 86,239 teams, 192,061 matches and 55,525 payments. Teams from 208 countries have registered for tournaments through Cup Manager.

Yes. Cup Manager is the leading tournament management system in both Sweden and Norway and is used by most of the major youth tournaments in both countries, including Gothia Cup and Norway Cup. Cup Manager is also used by tournaments in many other countries.

Cup Manager is largest in Sweden and Norway, but has customers in many countries, including Denmark, Finland, Germany, the United Kingdom, Spain, the Czech Republic, Lithuania, Australia, Thailand and Singapore. Teams from 208 countries have registered for tournaments through Cup Manager.

Cup Manager is used for tournaments in football (soccer), handball, basketball, floorball and beach volleyball, among others. It is built for any team sport where teams play matches in groups and knockout rounds.

Cup Manager has a lot of features, and each one is there to make running a tournament easier. Without them, organisers have to do a lot of manual work: matching payments to registrations, building the schedule by hand, answering questions from teams and updating the website whenever something changes. Cup Manager does that automatically.

You don't have to use everything. A small tournament can start with registration, scheduling and results and add more features as its needs grow.

All support and training is included, and we are happy to run workshops before registration opens and for building the schedule. On-call support is available during the tournament days in case anything comes up.
