trophy cups

Winners' metal goblets

Trophy cups are cup-shaped awards given to winners of competitions, typically with handles on both sides and mounted on a base.

They're the classic form of competitive prize, from neighborhood tournaments to major championships: The team hoisted the trophy cup overhead.

Often shortened to simply trophy or cup depending on context.
