The women's Elgon Cup is an annual competition between the national rugby union teams of Kenya and Uganda. It runs in parallel with the men's Elgon Cup, which has been running since 2004. The cup is competed for over two legs - one in each country. Home matches for Kenya are usually played at the RFUEA Ground, Nairobi, Kenya, whilst Uganda usually play their home matches at the Kyadondo Grounds, Kampala, Uganda.

However, after the women’s game and the trophy being handed over to the Kenyans, the chairmen of both unions announced at the dinner that Uganda had secured late sponsorship and would be able to host the return leg that would determine the Elgon Cup winners [1]. However, Kenya refused to hand over the Elgon Cup trophy after the second leg, claiming that they were the 2011 Elgon Cup champions as the 2nd leg was just a test friendly.
