Ahenkuu joined the [[Altador Cup]] in 2007 because the climate in Shenkuu is always rainy and wet in June because Altador had a weather control device that made all the low pressure systems in June that were supposed to hit Altador go north to prevent the weather from interfering with the Altador Cup.

Shenkuu is a mountainous land far North of Altador in Neopia. It was made available on September 8, 2006 after the Cyodrake's Gaze plot. Like the name suggests, Shenkuu is a Chinese themed world, although it takes its design from both China and Japan. Shenkuu has been unknown to Neopians for centuries, only to be revealed by the crew of the Cyodrake's Gaze after they received help from users. Its citizens are cautious of visitors, though this isn't explained why, but nonetheless they have welcomed visitors from all over Neopia, spreading their trade (as it is a merchant town).

Ahenkuu joined the Altador Cup in 2007 because the climate in Shenkuu is always rainy and wet in June because Altador had a weather control device that made all the low pressure systems in June that were supposed to hit Altador go north to rain in Shenkuu to prevent the weather from interfering with the Altador Cup. Shenkuu is regarded by Altador Cup enthusiasts as an exciting young team with plenty of promise, but they were expected not to make much noise in the tournament, having too many holes in their team. The inexperience of goalie Xana DiLanche, the unpredictable health of defender Turo Rafels, and the team's overall lack of tournament play are all serious concerns. However, the stunning talent of young forwards Mirsha Grelinek and Foltaggio may cause a few upsets.
The team surpassed expectations by claiming 3rd place in the 2007 Cup after defeating Krawk Island in the 3rd place game while the following year in Altador Cup III, they dropped down one spot to 4th place. In Altador Cup IV Shenkuu came second after, shockingly, beating top seed Kreludor and losing to Krawk Island in the finals.

| Year | Goalkeeper | Left Defender | Right Defender | Left Forward | Right Forward |
