The trophy, designed to mimic a football in flight, took two weeks to be completed and is made of six individual pieces of crystal, all of which are blown, cut, sculpted, engraved and assembled by six Waterford craftspeople. 

The Coach’s Award, a unique crystal football helmet engraved with the logos of Notre Dame Fighting Irish and Navy Midshipmen, will be presented to the winning team coach. placeholder image
