The Royal Bank Cup has been presented from 1996 to designate the Canadian Jr A (Tier II) Champion, via a tournament style format. Participants are determined from a series of playdowns across Canada. Participants are the Anavet Cup Winner, which is playoff between Manitoba and Saskatchewan champions, the Doyle Cup winner which is a playoff between Alberta and British Columbia champions, the Fred Page Cup winner which is an annual tournament involving the champions of the Central Junior Hockey League, la Ligue de Hockey Junior AAA du Quebec and the Maritime Junior 'A' Hockey League, plus a host team, the Dudley-Hewitt Cup winner between *Superior League champions, OHA Junior A and the Northern Ontario champions, and finally the Royal Bank Cup host team.

Hockey Canada renamed the championship effective 2008 to the RBC Cup. Prior to 1996 the Centenial Cup was awarded to the Canadian Junior A (Tier II) Champion.

Centennial Cup presented from 1971 until 1994 to the Canadian (Tier II Junior A) Champion. The Manitoba Centennial Trophy was presented to the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association (CAHA) by the Manitoba Amateur Hockey Association to commemorate their centennial year of 1970. It was in that year that the CAHA reconfigured their junior tier, creating two separate classifications.
