The Scottish Women's Premier League Cup, currently known as the Sky Sports Cup due to sponsorship and commonly shortened to the SWPL Cup, is a league cup competition in women's football in Scotland. The cup is open only to the teams in the Scottish Women's Premier League. There are four rounds, including the final.
The competition was launched in 2002–03 along with the Scottish Women's Premier League, and the first winners were Kilmarnock.[1] It supplanted the Scottish Women's Football League Cup (Kilmarnock were also its last winners) which continued as a lower-division competition.
The SWPL Cup changed to run on a summer schedule played in a single calendar year (from around March to November) from the 2009 edition[2][3] until the COVID-19 pandemic ended the 2020 season prematurely (leaving that year's edition unfinished) and caused the SWPL to revert to a winter format in all competitions for the following season, which was retained after pandemic restrictions ended.
The trophy has been won most often by Hibernian, seven times.
