The 2012 ESF men's Super Cup club championships was an international softball competition for men's fastpitch being held at Eagles Park and Svoboda Park in Prague, Czech Republic from August 27 to September 1, 2012.[1] The Super Cup was a new edition of the ESF Men's European Cup, merging the old European Cup with the ESF Cup Winners Cup.[2] The teams first competed in pool play, with the top 8 teams qualifying for the Super Cup, and the bottom 8 teams playing for the ESF Challenge Cup. After pool play, the setup for both the Super Cup and the Challenge Cup was a double elimination knockout system. In the end, the Hørsholm Hurricanes won the first Super Cup title.
