2002 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Information & 2002 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Links at HealthHaven.com

The 2002 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup ran from June through October, 2002, opened to all soccer teams in the United States.

The Columbus Crew won the 2002 tournament with a 1-0 victory over the Los Angeles Galaxy in the final at Crew Stadium. Just three days before, Los Angeles won MLS Cup 2002.

Every third-round game featured an MLS team against an A-League squad. Although MLS won seven of the eight games, four went to overtime, including San Jose's memorable 4-3 win over Seattle. The Des Moines Menace turned in the best performance by a PDL team, taking Rochester to overtime in a 3-2 second-round loss.
