The Highland League Cup is a football competition held annually in Scotland, specifically for teams in the Highland Football League. Established in 1947, it features clubs from the northern regions of Scotland, providing them with a platform to compete for silverware outside of the league format. The tournament typically involves a knockout format, where teams face off in single-elimination matches. The winner of the Highland League Cup earns not only a trophy but also recognition within the Scottish football community, contributing to the local sporting culture and fostering rivalries among participating clubs.
