Yes or no, depending on what you mean by "real". There are three cups: the original cup, the authenticated cup, and the replica cup. The original Stanley Cup, the one purchased by Lord Stanley, became too fragile for the use and abuse associated with the award and was retired to the Hockey Hall of Fame. An exact replica, the authenticated cup, was created to take the place of the original and this is what is carried around by the players, taken to special events, etc. A perfect replica, without any mistakes or misspellings, is displayed at the Hockey Hall of Fame when the authenticated Cup is traveling. The last time the original Stanley Cup was awarded was sometime between 1962 and 1970. The NHL kept the creation of the new authenticated cup a secret so that it would be accepted as the real cup, and apparently it remains to this day a secret as to when the exact switch occurred, probably for the same reason (if anyone can find solid information as to when the switch was made please post it here).
