The Cheshire Vase is an annual rugby union knock-out club competition organized by the Cheshire Rugby Football Union, and was introduced during the 2005-06 season with Anselmians being the first ever winners.[1] The Vase is currently a stand-alone competition open to club sides based in either Cheshire, Merseyside or the Isle of Man that are ranked at tier 6 (North 1 West) and 7 (South Lancs/Cheshire 1) of the English league system. It is the second most important club competition organized by the Cheshire RFU behind the Cheshire Cup.

The present format is as a knock-out cup with a quarter-final, semi-final and final which is held at a neutral venue during the latter stages of the season (March–May). At present Cheshire Vase finals are held on the same date and same venue as the Cheshire Bowl final.
