The Silver State Cup, presented by Nevada Donor Network, was created on March 21, 2018 after Reno 1868 FC and Las Vegas Lights FC conducted two weeks worth of polling fans across the Silver State. The Silver State Cup name was chosen after outlasting  fellow finalists; Battle Born Cup, Copa Nevada and Casino Classic.

The cup itself was chosen in the same process. A traditional cup filled with silver nuggets is awarded to the winner after the final USL regular season meeting between the two clubs. 

This year, the Silver State Cup will be played on August 1 at Cashman Field and September 30 at Greater Nevada Field.
