Texaco Cup

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Texaco Cup was an association football competition that involved clubs from the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland which had not qualified for European competions. Irish clubs withdrew from the competition in 1973-74 and from 1974 to 1975 competed in a separate Texaco Cup. The tournament was sponsored by American petroleum giant Texaco, who had owned service stations in the United Kingdom at the time.

The cup became the Anglo-Scottish Cup from 1975 after the withdrawal of Texaco's sponsorship.
