The Coupe Gambardella is a French football cup competition held between the under-18s of the French football clubs, organized by the French Football Federation (FFF).

The cup is regarded as an opportunity for young hopefuls to showcase their skills in a national competition. A victory in the finals of the cup is as highly sought by players trying to start their career, as by clubs wishing to demonstrate their ability to train young talents.[1]

The current champion is AS Monaco FC having defeated Clermont Foot 63 in the 2023 final by a score of 4–2. The 2019–20 and 2020–21 editions of the tournament were cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic in France.
