copas

Copas is the plural of copa in Spanish. The word copa has several related senses. As a common noun, copa denotes a cup or goblet, especially a wine glass or other stemware. When referring to tableware, copas are the vessels used for drinking; in hospitality and dining contexts, the term describes the glassware set or service.

In sports and competitions, copa is used to name trophies or cups. The plural copas appears when speaking of multiple cup tournaments or trophies, for example Copa América and Copa Libertadores. The World Cup is officially Copa del Mundo in Spanish; in reference to multiple editions, phrases like Copas del Mundo may be encountered in media, though the singular Copa del Mundo remains the standard name for a single tournament.
