The Canada Cup West is held in the Western Provinces and/or Territories of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Yukon Territory and Northwest Territories. It is held annually, from May to Mid-June, and includes a 720 round, an elimination round  and mixed team competition.

It encourages competition for the Master, Senior, Junior, and Cadet Classes, in all Archery Canada and World Archery recognized target divisions, Recurve, Compound and Barebow.

Information on the location and dates for the 2026 Canada Cup West is coming soon.

The Canada Cups were developed to:
• Promote and increase regional competition for Archery in Canada
• Serve as a celebration of the sport of Archery and its community
• Provide an athlete centered environment that enables competitive personal best performances
• Potentially serve as one of the recognized criteria for International event selection and Athlete and coach identification
• Provide an opportunity for developing archers to participate in team rounds

The Canada Cup West consists of one (1) 720 Target qualification round, Individual Match Play, and Mixed Team Match Play. The 720 Qualification round will be used to determine the archers qualifying positions for Individual Elimination Matchplay, as well as their team rank for the Team Match Play.
