The Women's Scottish Cup is the national knockout cup competition for women's football in Scotland.
First held in 1970âÂÂ71 and known as the Scottish Women's FA Cup, the competition was owned and managed by Scottish Women's Football (SWF), an affiliated body of the Scottish Football Association (SFA). The competition was rebranded in 2022 by the SFA. It is open to all senior teams affiliated with Scottish Women's Football and the SWPL. Rangers are the current holders, having won the 2025 final. The competition is currently sponsored by Scottish Gas.
The competition consists of a preliminary round and then several progressively reducing rounds of which the last one is the final. The twenty teams from the Scottish Women's Premier League enter at the third round. 33 teams from the Football League and Highland League are drawn in the preliminary round. The 17 winners from these ties are joined by 11 teams from League One for the first round. For round two, the 14 winners are joined by 10 teams from the Championship. The 12 winners are then joined by 20 teams from the Scottish Women's Premier League for round three. The 16 winners then play the Fourth round, then Quarter-finals and Semi-finals. All rounds are played over a single leg (the rules for the composition of the rounds were updated for the 2023âÂÂ24 season).
A new trophy was introduced for the 2018 season, but it was only played for three times before being replaced again for the 2022âÂÂ23 season when the Scottish Football Association took direct control of the competition, which had previously been organised through Scottish Women's Football. The 2018 trophy is now displayed at the Scottish Football Museum.
The current WomenâÂÂs Scottish Cup trophy was designed and made by Thomas Lyte. The trophy features a logo inspired by Mackintosh Rose â first depicted in a painting by the Scottish artist, Margaret Mackintosh â as well as the thistle, a symbol synonymous with the country.
