The D Generations Cup is an annual professional wrestling tournament held by CyberFight's DDT Pro-Wrestling brand. The tournament features young talents from the company, in a similar fashion to the Young Drama Cup, last held in 2011.
The first edition, held in 2023, used a round-robin format with each participant facing all other wrestlers within the same block in singles matches. The winner of each block was determined via a point system, with two points for a win, one point for a draw, and no points for a loss. On the final day of the event, the winners of each block faced each other to determine the winner of the tournament. The 2024 edition used a single-elimination bracket.
History
DDT Pro-Wrestling announced the participants of the inaugural D Generations Cup on January 2, 2023.[1][2] The schedule was then announced on January 10.[3]
