The 1995 United States Open Cup is often considered the start of the modern era of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, although Lamar Hunt's name was not added until the 1999 edition. The 1995 tournament was the first time professional teams took part in the competition as a prelude to MLS teams entering in 1996. The Richmond Kickers of the USISL Premier League won the cup in a shootout against the El Paso Patriots.
