The Isobel Cup is the championship trophy awarded annually to the National Women's Hockey League (NWHL) playoff winner.[2] It is named after Lady Isobel Gathorne-Hardy, one of the first known women to play the game and daughter of Lord Stanley (the namesake of the Stanley Cup).[3]

The first Cup was awarded in 2016,[1] at the end of the inaugural season of the NWHL, the first professional women's hockey league in the United States.[4]
