The Trivia Cup is an annual online competition sponsored by Gallaudet University through its Youth Programs office. This is the second year of the Trivia Cup competition. The Trivia Cup is open to individual High School, Middle School, and elementary deaf and hard of hearing students currently enrolled in any K-12 school in the world. Individuals may come from residential schools, day schools, mainstream programs, homeschooling programs, or any other type of educational program having High School, Middle School, or elementary-aged deaf or hard of hearing students. The purpose of the Trivia Cup is to foster the pursuit of academic excellence; promote a spirit of academic competition and good sportsmanship; and encourage social opportunities and collegiality among students.

For the 2021-2022 Trivia Cup, there will be five online individual trivia events for Middle School and High School students, one in-person trivia event for High School students, and two online individual trivia events for elementary students.
