The Szabella-Kupa (English: Szabella Cup) was a friendly handball event, which took place at least once every year until 2012, in parallel to the Kulcsár Anita Memorial Tournament. Sponsored by Sándor Szabella, it was created in 2007 and was organized until 2009 in August and in December. From 2010, the Szabella Cup was held only in August.
Tournament structure The first edition took place in August 2007, and altogether thirteen tournaments were organized. There was no permanent format for this friendly tournament, usually four teams (two Hungarians and two other European teams) played the Szabella Cup. But in August 2011 six teams participated. It was also the case in 2012: because of the Summer Olympics, there was only one tournament with six teams.
