The North of Scotland Cup is contested by members of the North of Scotland FA in a straight knockout format. In the main, these clubs are drawn from the Highland League and North Caledonian League.
This year’s competition will be played early in the season, a change from last season when it was played following the completion of the Highland League championship and was won by Brora Rangers. Tain St Duthus and Halkirk United aren’t taking part this season, but Elgin City make a return. A regionalised format has been introduced this year.
