What is the name of the wizarding sports tournament central to Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire?

The story behind the answer

The Triwizard Tournament is the wizarding sports tournament central to Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. It brings together champions from three European wizarding schools for a series of dangerous tasks.

The participating schools are Hogwarts, Beauxbatons Academy of Magic and Durmstrang Institute. Traditionally, one champion represents each school, but Harry is mysteriously selected as a fourth champion despite being underage.

The tournament’s tasks include retrieving a golden egg, navigating a lake and reaching the Triwizard Cup in a maze. The final task becomes a turning point in the series because the cup has been turned into a Portkey. The novel was published in 2000 and is the fourth main Harry Potter book.
