The 2009 Milk Cup Tournament will run between 27 and 31 July. The Milk Cup is a prestigious association football tournament and is divided into three categories: Elite, Premier, and Junior for differing age groups.
The Elite section had six teams in 2009, divided into two groups of three followed by a playoff, whilst the Junior and Premier sections were contested by 24 and 20 teams, respectively. Each team played once on Monday and Tuesday as part of a league, from which the top eight teams qualified for the Milk Cup quarter-finals on Wednesday. The remainder of the teams qualify for other cups that run alongside the Milk Cup, with quarter-finals on the Wednesday, semi-finals on Thursday, and the finals on Friday.
- Elite - Under 19s - national sides
