France is shown the door, and Spain has triumphed into the final of the FIFA World Cup, now waiting patiently for either England or the favorites, Argentina. While who will make it to the final to contest for the most coveted trophy against Spain remains uncertain, at the time of writing, what’s certain is that Louis Vuitton has readied the bespoke trunk that will be used by the winners to carry the golden trophy out of the New York New Jersey Stadium on Sunday, July 19. Like it has been doing in the last four editions, LV has unveiled its licensed 2026 FIFA World Cup Trophy Trunk to showcase and transport the most iconic cup in sports.

It has previously designed trophy trunks for the 2010 edition of the FIFA World Cup in South Africa, followed by the 2014 Brazil, 2018 Russia, and 2022 Qatar editions. Designer: FIFA and Louis Vuitton The fifth such trunk, in as many editions of the World Cup, is made by Maison’s artisans in its Asnières-sur-Seine workshops near Paris.

It is meticulously covered in the iconic Louis Vuitton monogram canvas and will, for the first time, be officially disclosed at the final match of the World Cup. The 2026 FIFA World Cup Trophy Trunk will be brought onto the pitch for the finals ceremony and will become part of the music and entertainment programs when football’s greatest achievement is celebrated. Making its presence etched in the annals of history, the 2026 FIFA World Cup Trophy Trunk comes enclosed in an all-LV Monogram canvas cover and features a pair of front panels adorned with a golden “V,” which, according to the press statement, stands for both Vuitton and Victory.

The exterior doesn’t give out much about the official partnership. It is more reserved for the interior, which is done in light beige leather and a space in the center for the “world’s most coveted trophy—a symbol of dedication, collective ambition, and the ultimate celebration of victory.” Here, a patch on the lid is used to showcase the partnership logo between Louis Vuitton and FIFA.

Returning to the exterior, it features LV’s signature leather trim known as “lozines.” The trunk corners are protected with gold-plated brass, while clasps and a lock are used to secure the precious trophy inside. Lock and clasp design is reminiscent of those used by the maison since the 1860s.

Unless you are the FIFA museum in Zurich, Switzerland, there is no chance you can keep the trophy or the trunk. Louis Vuitton understands it better than any of us and has therefore created three look-alike limited edition trunks. Since each of these is inspired by the trunk designed for the original solid gold trophy, they feature monogram canvas, a hand-painted FIFA World Cup logo, and the golden “V”.

The first of the three iterations is the Coffret 8 Montres, made to hold eight watches; the Cotteville 16 Montres is designed for the same purpose but with the capacity to store 16 watches. Malle Courrier Lozine 110 is a different breed; it is a trunk for the purpose of carrying luggage. There is no word on how each of these will be priced, but we learn that users will have an option to personalize their purchase with their initials.
