The Commonwealth Cup is an annual independent wrestling tournament in North America, run and promoted by Virginia-based promotion NOVA Pro Wrestling. The first tournament took place in 2017, and serves as the highest honor in the promotion, as there are no official championships in NOVA Pro at present time.

Format
The first year of the Commonwealth Cup, in 2017, consisted of 12 participants, with six opening round singles matches, two three-way elimination semifinal matches, and a one-on-one tournament final. In 2018, the men's tournament was expanded to 16 participants, with eight opening round singles matches, four second round singles matches, and one four-way elimination final.

In 2018, the Commonwealth Cup featured its first women's tournament. The tournament size and format of the inaugural event has yet to be announced.
