The Arnold Clark Cup is an invitational women's association football tournament hosted by The Football Association, starting in 2022.[1] It is named after car retailer Arnold Clark, who signed a multi-year sponsorship deal. ITV acts as the competition's domestic broadcast partner.[2]
Played during the February/March international break, the Arnold Clark Cup takes place at the same time as other notable international women's invitational tournaments such as the SheBelieves Cup, the Algarve Cup, the Pinatar Cup, the Tournoi de France, and the Cyprus Cup.
Format
The four invited teams play each other once in a round-robin tournament. Points awarded in the group stage follow the formula of three points for a win, one point for a draw, and zero points for a loss. A tie in points would be decided by goal difference.
