The Legends Trophy / Stanford
The Legends Trophy is fairly unknown. It’s a shame, really. This game is far more prime “prime time” since the inception of the trophy. In fact, this game has had HUGE implications nationally in the last few years. The rise of the Cardinal as a real power from the west adds to the prestige.
It was presented for the first time in 1989 by the Notre Dame Club of the San Francisco Bay Area. The Legends Trophy, is a combination of Irish Crystal and California Redwood. It’s a beautiful trophy, and one that represents both schools well.

Notre Dame leads the series 19-10. This trophy should be around for a long time since both schools have expressed a big interest in continuing to play each other annually.
