The Scottish Women's Football Scottish Cup, commonly known as the Scottish Women's Cup and currently as the SSE Scottish Women's Cup for sponsorship reasons, is the national knockout cup competition for women's football in Scotland. The competition is owned and managed by Scottish Women's Football (SWF), an affiliated body of the Scottish Football Association (SFA), and is open to all senior teams affiliated with the SWF. The competition was first held in 1971. Glasgow City and Hibernian are its most successful teams, having won it eight times each.
Format
The competition consists of a preliminary round and then six rounds of which the last one is the final. The twelve teams from the Scottish Women's Premier League enter at the second round. Thus all other teams are drawn either in the preliminary round or the first round so that 40 teams play in the first round.[1] The 20 winners plus the 12 Premier League teams then play the second round, the round of 32. All rounds are played over a single leg.
