From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Scottish Youth Cup (also known as the SFA Youth Cup) is an annual Scottish football competition run by the Scottish Football Association for under-18 teams,[1][2] previously under-19 teams.[3] The competition started in 1983–84 and is open to all clubs in full membership of SFA.[4]

The competition's first winners, Celtic, have won the competition 16 times, more than any other club.[5] Celtic are also the current holders, having defeated Rangers in the final of the 2022–23 competition.

The final of the 2019–20 season and the whole of the 2020–21 competition was not held due to COVID-19 pandemic.
