This trophy bearing his name will be awarded to the winner of the two duels between the two teams in the league. The winner will be the team "which will have accumulated the most field points on the home and away matches of their direct confrontations", explained the Var club and the Parisian club in press releases. The second round is scheduled for the weekend of January 29 at the Jean-Bouin stadium on the occasion of the 16th matchday of Top 14. Dominici, who spent his professional career in both clubs, died suddenly in November 2020, at the age of 48.
