Previous = 1973The 1974 Canadian-American Challenge Cup season was the ninth and final season of the original Can-Am auto racing series. It was comprised of FIA Group 7 racing cars running half hour "Sprint" races followed by hour long "Cup" races. It began June 16, 1974 and was cancelled after the fifth round on August 25, 1974.

Following the cancellation of the series, many teams turned to the new Camel GT Challenge, although the cars were not of the same type as had been used in Can-Am. The Can-Am name would return in 1977, although the formula used would vary greatly from the original series, concentrating instead on open-wheel-based chassis.

All rounds had a "Sprint" qualifying heat first to determine the starting order for the "Cup" event. The results of the Sprint and Cup were not combined.
