The Eugene C. Bonniwell National Football Trophy of America was a trophy presented in the United States to the college football team recognized as national champions by the directors of the Veteran Athletes of Philadelphia.[2][3]
The trophy was awarded by the Veteran Athletes of Philadelphia, an organization made up of former Olympic and intercollegiate athletes.[1]
The trophy was awarded only upon unanimous vote by the directors of the organization for a single national champion.[1][3] It was first awarded to Notre Dame in 1924, after having been created around 1919 and unawarded for 5 years.[1]
In 1930 the Madeleine C. Bonniwell Memorial Football Trophy was awarded for the same national championship honors.[4]
