The College Cup was played on December 5 and December 8 at CPKC Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, and televised on ESPNU.^[1]

North Carolina were the defending national champion.^[2] North Carolina received an unseeded, at-large bid, and was unable to defend their title falling to TCU in penalties in the Round of 16.^[3]
