I-40 Cup Series Information
The storied rivalry between Nashville and Memphis is being played out on the baseball diamond whenever the Sounds and Redbirds face off in Triple-A Pacific Coast League play.
To add to the excitement of the cross-state rivalry each summer, the Nashville Sounds and Memphis Redbirds developed the I-40 Cup Series in 2012.
The winner of the season-long, 16-game series between the Sounds and Redbirds claims possession of the two-foot tall I-40 Cup until the following year; in the event of a season series split, the previous season's winner will serve as the cupholder and remain champion. The loser of the series will donate 25 tickets to the winner's charity of choice.
The I-40 Cup was designed and produced by Southern Trophy.
Nashville leads the all-time series, 154-132, since both teams joined the Pacific Coast League in 1998.
