The Icy Smith Cup was a knockout tournament originally contested in Great Britain from 1966 to 1982.

The competition began in 1966, contested mostly by Northern League teams. In 1976, the Icy Smith Cup became the national British Championship and saw teams from all leagues participate.

Retroactively, the tournament's played between 1966 and 1975 were recognized as serving as the British Championship during that time period.

The Icy Smith Cup was last awarded to the British Championship winner in 1982. It later became a minor in-season competition, which the Ayr Raiders, Durham Wasps, Cardiff Devils, Peterborough Pirates, Murrayfield Racers, Fife Flyers, Nottingham Panthers, Solihull Barons, and Whitley Warriors are recorded to have participated in during the 1989-90 season.
