The WikiCup is a championship that takes place every year on Wikipedia. The cup is played and won by skill of editing. The purpose of the cup is to encourage content improvement and make editing on Wikipedia fun. Entry is available for any registered user; experience doesn't matter.

The plan for the layout of the 2009 tournament is as follows:
 * January 1 to March 28 – 60 users left – 10 groups of 6, top two from each group progressed, as well as the top ten of all remaining users.
 * April 1 to May 30 – 30 users left – 6 groups of 5, top one progressed, as well as the top ten of all remaining users.
 * June 1 to July 29 – 16 users left – 4 groups of 4, top one progressed, as well as the top four of all remaining users.
 * August 1 to October 31 – 8 users left – 1 group of 8. On September 30, the bottom four were eliminated; the top four continued (keeping their previous points from the round) until the end. At the end, Durova came out on top to win.

When the cup is won, a special template with the cup on will be placed on their user talkpage. The colour of the border will depend on the colours of the flag of the country that they represented. For contest results, please see /2007, /2008, and /2009.
