The Doddie Weir Cup (
Wales won 21–10 in the inaugural match in Cardiff in November 2018.[2] Scotland are the current holders.[3]
Design
The cup was commissioned jointly by the Welsh Rugby Union and the Scottish Rugby Union and was designed by the Edinburgh silversmiths Hamilton and Inches.[4] Doddie Weir commented on the trophy design, stating that the silversmiths "have done an absolutely fantastic job in making it with some big handles to emulate my massive ears!"[5]
Charity
Weir set up a charity called My Name's Doddie Foundation to help fund treatments for motor neurone disease.[6]
Neither the Welsh Rugby Union nor the Scottish Rugby Union originally intended to contribute any of the gate receipts from the inaugural match to the charity,[7] but pressure from fans and in the media resulted in them eventually donating a six-figure sum.[8]
