Zambia Cup Winners

Cup of Zambia/North Rhodesia

Note that from 1962 to 1965 the winners of the Northern Rhodesia
Castle Cup played against the corresponding winners in Southern
Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) for the 'Super Castle Cup'.

Note that winners of this trophy did not always enter the African
Cup Winners Cup, an entry often reserved for the winners of the
Champion of Champions Cup (usually contested between four clubs).
