The tournament was created in 2017, modeled after the popular cruiserweight tournament Super J-Cup. Jushin Liger, the innovator of the original Super J-Cup was announced as the first participant of the British J-Cup and went on to win the first edition of the tournament.[3] British J-Cup is held annually by RevPro, with the exception of 2020.[4]

History

The first British J-Cup was held in 2017, modeled after the Super J-Cup. The tournament featured eight participants who competed in singles matches and won to qualify for a four-way elimination match in the final round. The innovator of the original Super J-Cup, Jushin Liger won the inaugural tournament. The following year, British J-Cup became an annual staple of RPW, and expanded to sixteen participants. They competed in singles matches in the opening round and then the four participants won the semifinal matches to qualify for the final. In 2019, the number of participants was reverted to eight.

In 2020, the tournament did not take place due to travel restrictions occurring during the COVID-19 pandemic. The tournament returned to 2021 at the Gordon Craig Theatre in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, England. The following two editions of the British J-Cup have been held at the same venue.[5]
