There has been a revival in senior AAA hockey in Newfoundland and Labrador with the formation of the Newfoundland Senior Hockey League in 2011. Several teams have also registered for Senior AAA level play in New Brunswick starting in 2015. Quebec (which still has no registered AAA teams as of 2017) and Atlantic Canada now have their own qualifying regions for the Allan Cup. The spot for the Quebec champion has been traditionally given to another team from the host teams region. It is unknown when the trophy was officially first awarded.
