The first British Quidditch Cup took place in Oxford, England on 9 and 10 November 2013.
After much deliberation, site visits and further communication, the organising committee accepted the bid put forward by the Nightmares, resulting in the 23 teams competing at Wollaton Hall and Deer Park, Nottingham.
[5] The third British Quidditch Cup took place at Rugeley Leisure Centre on 19 and 20 March 2016.
The LB bracket was won by York university's HogYork Horntails with Taxes QC coming runners up.
The consolation bracket was won by Falmouth Falcons with York university's HogYork Horntails coming runners up.
The second day consisted of a knockout tournament in both an upper and lower bracket of 16 teams each.
The sixth British Quidditch Cup took place on 6–7 April 2019 at Northumbria Sport in Newcastle.
[10] In addition plans to host an equivalent event to BQC in April 2021 were shelved due to it being deemed unsafe and impractical.
After the full 45 minutes of game time in the final the teams were tied with 160 points each, both a single goal away from the winning overtime set score of 170 (Werewolves had caught the snitch earlier in the match).
Under concern that the venue was already starting to kick the tournament out with the university final still yet to be played (and in an attempt to avoid going to tiebreakers for a final), it was decided to play two more minutes of golden goal during which Werewolves scored and won the tournament.
[16] The eighth tournament took place on 1–2 April 2023 and was again held in Sheffield Hallam University Sports Park.
