Steinfeld Trophy

The Steinfeld Trophy is given annually to the winners of the Major League Lacrosse (MLL) championship.[1] The trophy is contested in a 4-team playoff where the top teams (based on regular season record) compete in a single-elimination format. In 2002 and since 2014, the semifinals and the championship game are on separate weekends. The award is named after MLL co-founder Jake Steinfeld. Since the league's inception, the championship has been played at a pre-designated neutral location.
