Governor's Cup was founded in 1986 as a way to promote, reward and  recognize outstanding academic achievement. Since then, over a quarter of a million students have taken part in the event.

Governor's Cup has become the state's premier academic event, involving over 20,000 students, nearly 1200 schools, and thousands of coaches, administrators, parents and community leaders who see the rewards gained from encouraging academic performance through properly structured and professionally administered academic competition.

Governor's Cup consists of eight events:

• Five Written Assessment Examinations--in Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Language Arts and Arts/Humanities
• Composition--On-Demand Writing
• Quick Recall--also known as "quiz bowl"
• Future Problem Solving--an award-winning creative thinking competition

In the Elementary (Grade 5 and below) division, students take part in a District and Regional competition. The Middle Grades (6-8) and High School (9-12) divisions include a District, Regional and State competition. Membership fees are $225 in the Elementary division, and $325 in the Middle Grades and High School divisions.
