# Prime Minister's Cup All Japan University Football Tournament

The Prime Minister's Cup All Japan University Football Tournament, mostly known by Prime Minister's Cup, is the secondary football competition for universities across Japan. Since 1977, the year of its first edition, the tournament is held between late August and early September. Winning universities were automatically seeded in the Emperor's Cup. It happened for the last time on 2011. Until 2004, runner-up universities were also given these rights.
On 2023, it was the last time 24 teams participated in the tournament, with 8 teams automatically seeded in the second round. From 2024 onwards, 32 teams participates in the tournament, all starting in the same round.
