Impact X Cup Tournaments

The Impact X Cup Tournament consists of various types of X Division tournaments that feature wrestlers and/or teams from all over the world competing in Impact Wrestling – formerly Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) and Global Force Wrestling (GFW) – to fight for various trophies or championship matches. After a near decade long hiatus, the tournament returned in 2017 before going on another four-year hiatus. As of 2021, there has been eight X cup tournaments (four super X cups and four team X cups).

The first X Cup Tournament of any kind was the 2003 Super X Cup. It featured wrestlers from around the Globe competing in one-on-one matches. Chris Sabin was the winner of the 2003 Super X Cup. Since then, the generally positive response from TNA's viewers to the 2003 Super X Cup has led to other X Cup Tournaments. Multiple competitors in each tournament have represented various different companies, such as Pro Wrestling Noah, Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide, All Japan Pro Wrestling, AAW Wrestling, Border City Wrestling and Wrestle Circus. Throughout the history of the tournament, Impact has used a plethora of outside talent to compete in the tournament. In the early beginnings of the Super X Cup, it was stated that if you won the tournament you automatically became the number-one contender for the Impact X Division Championship.

Inaugural winner Chris Sabin holds the record most X cup wins with 3 (1 individually and 2 with Team USA). Team Mexico and Team USA are tied for most X cup wins as a team with 2 each. In individual X cups, no winners has won more than once as of January 2021.
