The Franciscan Cup is an annual men's basketball contest played between two of the three NCAA Division I Association of Franciscan Colleges and Universities member schools.[1]

The annual non-conference men's basketball game allows the winner between Siena and St. Bonaventure to retain the Franciscan Cup until the following year's game.

Prior to the creation of the Franciscan Cup, the two teams had played semi-regularly with St. Bonaventure leading the series with a 25–8 record.[2] The first ever meeting occurred during the 1939–1940 season with St. Bonaventure earning a 51–43 victory.
