The Scottish Women's Football Championship and League One Cup is an annual knockout competition in Scottish women's football, for teams playing in the SWF Championship and League One, the third- and fourth-tier leagues below the two-division SWPL.
Established as part of a reorganisation of the lower leagues in late 2019[1][2] and intended to be the early-season cup for a spring-summer-autumn fixture calendar, its first edition in 2020 was played up to the quarter-final stage[3] before being cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic in Scotland.
The fixture calendar was moved to an autumn-winter-spring schedule to accommodate for restrictions of the pandemic, but even a truncated 2020–21 SWF Championship campaign had to be cancelled and no cup was played.
[4][5] Up to that point it was known as the Championship Cup, with that level arranged into North and South sections; prior to the 2022–23 season the format of the league was amended to have a single Championship group above a League One, with the cup including all teams from both divisions and renamed accordingly; its next winners in December 2022, FC Edinburgh, were members of the lower tier.
However, the Scottish Women's Football League continued after the reorganisation (albeit as a standalone 'Recreational' level separate from the SWPL and Championship at the 'Performance' level) and has its own SWFL League Cup[7] which continues the history of that trophy, with the SWF Championship Cup being a new tournament.
