The Pelican Cup is an international friendly association football competition hosted by the Ligue de football de Saint-Martin, the national association of the French Caribbean Overseas Collectivity of Saint Martin. The tournament, which the association plans to be held annually, was created with the purpose of reinvigorating young people's interest in the sport and increase participation in local clubs on the island. ^{[1] [2]}

The tournament was played for the first time in May 2025. Three nations participated: Anguilla, Saint Kitts and Nevis, and hosts Saint Martin. Saint Martin's first match of the tournament was also the debut of Jean-Claude Darcheville as the nation's manager. The competition was played in a round-robin format. A match would go directly to a penalty-shootout if tied at the end of regulation time. ^{[3] [4]} Originally, a fourth team, Corsica, was set to compete but withdrew because of a lack of funding. ^[5] Saint Martin won the inaugural competition with two wins in two matches. ^[6]
