{{For| the chess tournament|North Sea Cup (chess)}}
The '''North Sea Cup''' was an open [[chess]] tournament played in [[Esbjerg]], [[Denmark]] from 1976 to 2008. Until 2003 there was an amateur section (a [[Swiss system tournament]]) and a 10-player [[round-robin tournament]] for titled players. The exceptions are 1986 and 1987. In 1986 the titled section was the play off for the [[Danish Chess Championship]]. In 1987 the titled section was replaced by the Danish Juniors' Championship. From 2004 the tournament has only one division, a nine- or ten-round Swiss system.


The North Sea Cup was not played in 2009.
The '''North Sea Cup''' is the only professional [[ice hockey]] league in [[the Netherlands]] and [[Belgium]] and the highest level of competition organized by the [[Nederlandse IJshockey Bond]] (NIJB; English: "Dutch Ice Hockey Federation") and sanctioned by the Royal Belgian Ice Hockey Federation. Operating as the Dutch "[[Eredivisie (hockey)|Eredivisie]]" ([[English language|English]]: "Premier Division"; literally ''Honours Division'') from 1946, the league renamed itself as the "North Sea Cup" and became international in 2011 when two Belgian teams, [[HYC Herentals]] and [[White Caps Turnhout]], joined the 28-game regular season.

==History==

The Eredivisie was formed after [[World War II]], with teams in [[Amsterdam]], [[The Hague]] and [[Tilburg]]. It suspended operations from 1950 to 1964, but has organized a season of competition annually ever since. Over the years the number of teams competing has fluctuated between 3 and 10 (currently 9), and the number of games played in the regular season between 4 and 36 (currently 28).

Efforts to expand the Eredivisie from 2008 were frustrated by the [[global recession]]. For the 2008-2009 season, the [[Utrecht Dragons]] and [[Eindhoven Kemphanen]] joined the league. In 2009-2010, Utrecht returned to the Eerste Divisie. Prior to the 2010-2011 season, [[Amstel Tijgers]], one of the oldest teams in the league, dropped out, as did [[Groningen Grizzlies]] after three seasons, due to poor results on the ice and low revenues. In 2010 the [[Zoetermeer Panthers]] were set to join the Eredivisie; it competed in, and won, the National Cup but dropped out of the Eredivisie due to financial problems.

Two former Belgian Elite Series teams, [[White Caps Turnhout]] and [[HYC Herentals]], joined the league for 2010-2011, which prompted the name change from the all Dutch "Eredivisie" to the more international name "North Sea Cup". For the second season of the North Sea Cup (2011-2012), one new Dutch team (Amsterdam Capitals) and one new Belgian team (Leuven Chiefs) will take part in the league. In August 2011, the [[Nijmegen Devils]] announced that they would not be participating in the North Sea Cup for the 2011-12 season and will be back for the 2012 season. <ref>{{cite web|url= http://eurohockey.com/news.html|title=EuroHockeyNews|publisher=eurohockey.com |date= |accessdate=2011-08-11}}</ref>

In the early years of the Eredivisie, the winner of the regular season was crowned the Dutch National Champion, but for most of its history the regular season determined playoff seeding, and a playoffs were then held to determine the National Champion. Since 2010-2011, with the addition of Belgian teams, the regular season has determined the North Sea Cup winners. At the end of the regular season, the Dutch and Belgian teams play in separate Dutch and Belgian playoffs for their respective national championships. The Belgian and Dutch teams also play in separate, pre-season national cup tournaments.

== Other Dutch and Belgian Leagues ==

Below the North Sea Cup in the Netherlands is the Eerste Divisie (First Division), an amateur league. As the North Sea Cup is professional and the Eerste Divisie is amateur, there is no automatic relegation or promotion between the two leagues, but teams have sometimes moved from one division to the other for financial reasons. Some cities (such as Tilburg, The Hague and Amsterdam) have a professional team in the North Sea Cup and an amateur team in the Eerste Divisie.

In Belgium, below the North Sea Cup is the Belgian National League, made of amateur teams. There is no automatic relegation or promotion. Leuven will become the first team to move from the Belgian National League to the North Sea Cup in 2011-2012.

==[[IIHF Continental Cup]]==

The respective Belgian and Dutch national champions each year qualify for the Continental Cup.
