On 'Dancing with the Stars', what is the name of the trophy awarded to the winning couple?

On “Dancing with the Stars,” the trophy awarded to the winning couple is the Mirrorball Trophy.

The American competition pairs a celebrity with a professional dancer. Each week, couples perform choreographed ballroom or Latin routines, earning scores from the judges and votes from viewers. After eliminations, the remaining finalists compete in the finale, where the couple with the strongest combined result is crowned champion and receives the trophy.

The name comes from the award’s distinctive mirrored-ball design, which evokes the glittering disco ball associated with dance-floor spectacle. It is commonly written as either “Mirrorball Trophy” or “Mirror Ball Trophy,” and both forms identify the same prize.

The award was later renamed the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy in honor of Len Goodman, the longtime head judge who died in 2023. That newer name does not change the underlying answer: Emmy, Crystal Trophy, and Golden Globe are not the show’s championship award. The trophy belongs to the winning celebrity-professional partnership, not just the celebrity contestant.
