Toronto FC will once again play at the Carolina Challenge Cup in 2010. Despite the host Battery making the drop to USL-2 for 2010, the tournament, which has been a mainstay of the spring football schedule for six seasons, will go forward in 2010.
TFC has been involved in all four of its preseasons.
Oddly, five of six previous editions of the tournament have seen the winner go on to win the MLS Cup. Salt Lake beat Toronto last year to capture the championship.
The defending champs return to the 2010 event as does DC United.
Traditionally, the Cup has been the first chance for TFC fans to see the team play in the preseason. The games have typically been shown on a web feed.
The tournament starts March 13, with games also on March 17 and March 20.

Dude, when you tweeted this I thought by "CCC" you meant "CONCACAF Champions Cup" and that the Voyageurs Cup was cancelled because of the USL/NASL thing. Don't do that to me!
As someone who's been there for the past two year, I can say that this trip is absolutely worth doing if you can get the time off work. It's an amazing location, a great way to see the team up close, and the hosts are perfect representations of 'southern hospitality'. It's a blast!
