Tennis' Davis Cup and Fed Cup competitions, as well as international cricket, field hockey, the FIFA World Cup, UEFA Champions League, and Rugby World Cup, all use the phrase. A "rubber match" is a term used to describe a tie-breaking game in a range of sports and activities, ranging from bridge to baseball. A three-game bridge set is still referred to as a "rubber." In sports, a rubber is a series with an odd number of matches in which the team with the most victories wins the series. Both Wiktionary and Merriam-Webster state that the derivation of this word is "unknown."
