The Presidents Cup sees eight teams, up to 14 goals, compete. Teams are split into two leagues. The winners of each league will play the final. The cups are named after Luis Lalor, Marcos Uranga and Francisco Dorignac. The tournament is called the Presidents Cup as a tribute to the three former AAP Presidents who passed away in 2021.
