A breakaway swing-down cup holder assembly including a cup tray that pivots between a horizontal deployed position and a vertical stowed position. Support arms fixed to the cup tray slide through respective apertures in the support panel as the tray moves between the deployed and stowed positions. Arm retainers disposed adjacent the aperture in the support panel arrest downward cup tray movement at the deployed position by engaging and retaining support arm detents. The support arm detents are designed to pull free of the retainers when a predetermined amount of downward force is applied to the cup tray. This allows the tray to give way and drop below the deployed position without damaging the tray, support arms, arm retainers or any associated structures. The support arm detents can be re-engaged with the retainers by merely rotating the cup tray upward into the deployed position with a single motion of one hand and without having to directly manipulate the support arms.
