What is a US cup?

Eight US fluid ounces, about 236.6 ml. The "legal" cup on nutrition labels is a rounded 240 ml.

What is an imperial gill?

A quarter of an imperial pint, 142.0653125 ml exactly. It survives as the measure spirits were once poured by in British pubs, and in old recipes that ask for a gill of cream.

How many imperial gills are in a US cup?

One US cup is 1.6653484 imperial gills. Going the other way, one imperial gill is 0.60047496 US cups. Both figures come from the same defined relation rather than from a measurement, which is why they are the same today as they were in 1959.

Every volume unit here

The whole group — 20 units with their symbols and the size of each one in liters — is on the conversion index, along with every pair it makes. The table above already gives each of them relative to a US cup.
