The original Calcutta Cup trophy was designed in India in 1878 to commemorate an annual match between Scotland and England. In 1988 the cup -- made out of melted Indian Rupees -- was damaged, and replicas were ordered to preserve the original, which now sits in the Museum of Rugby in Twickenham. The cup is held by England players after victory in 2004.
