Derry's new cup (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ryder

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'cup' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'derry's new' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates anagramming the letters.
'derry' anagrammed gives 'RYDER'.

Can you help me to learn more?
