The Greenland Cup (Danish: Grønlands Cup, Greenlandic: Kalaallit Nunaat Imertarfik) was an association football friendly round-robin tournament controlled by the Football Association of Greenland.[1] The Greenland National Football Team competed as a regular in its short-lived running. Despite being the representing country, Greenland never won the Greenland Cup. It ran from 1980 to 1984, with 3 tournaments overall.[2]

It was contested by the Greenland, Faroe Islands and Iceland senior male national teams who, at the time, were not affiliated with FIFA. The Faroe Islands and Iceland were the only teams to win the tournament. Both countries have since gone on to become UEFA and FIFA members.[3][4]
