The Latin Cup was an international roller hockey tournament held by the youth (under-23) national teams of France, Italy, Portugal and Spain.
Created in 1956, the tournament was held every year and hosted alternately in one of these countries. The first editions were played by senior players. Between 1964 and 1986, the competition did not take place. In 1987, it was restored, but opened only to young players (under-23). In 2001, Spain could not attend the Latin Cup and was replaced by Germany.Latin Cup 2001 results
