These are the 1973 playoffs for the University Cup, the CIAU Canadian university championship. There was no tournament. There were regional quarter-final and semi-final series followed by a sudden-death final played in Toronto, Ontario. This was the first season for two new conferences in Western Canada, the Great Plains Athletic Conference (GPAC) and the Canada West Universities Athletic Association (CWUAA). The format remained in place through 1975. Only teams from the GPAC and the CWUAA ever played in the quarter-final round.
