1919 Victory Cup

The Victory Cup was a one-off Scottish football competition held in 1919 to celebrate the end of World War I.

The winners of the Victory Cup were St Mirren who defeated Heart of Midlothian 3–0 after extra time in the final at Celtic Park in Glasgow.

[1][2][3] The format was a straight knockout tournament involving clubs in the south and west of Scotland, with each round played as a single match with replays as necessary, and the final at a neutral venue.

Due to the scarcity of materials and the swift manner in which the competition was organised, no trophy was available to be presented to the winners at the time; St Mirren instead received a 'Victory Cup Shield'.

[1] A similar wartime competition was held at the end of World War II, won by Rangers.
