The Continental Cup[1][2] (Russian: Кубок Континента, Kubok Kontinenta), also known as the Kontinental Cup,[3] is the trophy presented to the winner of the regular season of the Kontinental Hockey League, i.e. the team with the most points at the end of the regular season. It was introduced during the second season of the competition. Earlier, the winner of the first season simply named the regular season winner. The name of the trophy was voted on by visitors of the KHL website. Other candidates for the name of the trophy included Leader Cup, Suvorov Cup, Peoples' Friendship Cup and «Our Game» Cup. More than 24,000 people voted. Continental Cup received 58.57% of the votes (14 118 votes).[4] During the history of KHL, the winner of Continental Cup had never won Gagarin Cup in the same season before 2018–19, when CSKA Moscow became the first team to win both trophies.
