Camanachd Cup

The Camanachd Association Challenge Cup, usually known as the Camanachd Cup or, less commonly, the Scottish Cup, is an annual knockout competition in shinty. First contested in 1896, it is considered the premier competition in the sport. Organised by the Camanachd Association, the cup is one of the trophies considered to be part of the Grand Slam in the sport.

The tournament was first played in 1896, with Kingussie Camanachd beating Glasgow Cowal 2–0 at Needlefield Park in Inverness.

Four teams have won the trophy three times in a row, Newtonmore, Kingussie, Kyles Athletic and Fort William.

The highest margin of victory was in 1997 when Kingussie hammered Newtonmore 12–1. The highest scoring final, and the previous largest margin of victory, was held by Newtonmore themselves, having beaten Furnace 11–3 in 1907.

Only Furnace (1923) and Newtonmore (2013) have gone through the competition without conceding a goal.^{[citation needed]}

In 2006, the Cup had its first ever televised draw on BBC Scotland sports programme Spòrs, with the final also being broadcast live.

In 2019 the Camanachd Association named former Fort William and Scotland captain, Gary Innes as the competition's first ambassador.^{[citation needed]}

Between the years of 1990 (when Skye defeated Newtonmore) and 2012 (When Kyles Athletic defeated Inveraray) there was not a final which did not feature either Kingussie or Fort William.
