	UEFA Cup Winners' Cup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During its existence, the Cup Winners' Cup was regarded as the second most prestigious European club competition out of the three major tournaments, behind the UEFA Champions League/European Cup and ahead of the UEFA Cup, although many commentators felt the Cup Winners' Cup was the easier of the three competitions to win.
		The Cup Winners' Cup was eventually discontinued mainly due to the expansion of the UEFA Champions League in the late 1990's, and the CWC's Super Cup place was taken by the winner of the UEFA Cup.
		The cup was regarded by UEFA as its second most important club competition, even though the tournament was felt to be weaker to both the European Cup and the UEFA Cup in terms of the overall quality of the teams taking part.
