National Cups

U21 National Cup

A new U21 National Cup was launched in season 2024/25 to aid retention and provide valuable competition opportunity to this priority cohort in England.

The U21 National Cup will continue to follow a standardised format – the top 10-ranked, England-eligible, men and women will be invited and will play a full round-robin over the course of two days.  

Eligible members of national squads will be required to be available for this event. 

Event documentation and further details can be found here. 

U11 & U13 Pathway Development Cup

A new one-day annual U11 & U13 boys and girls’ Team Cup competition will be supported locally by the Pathway Development Centres, as a springboard to National Leagues. This will provide a targeted team competition opportunity for these priority age-groups at area level where critical mass does not exist at club or county level.  

This event will be launched in season 25/26.
