[edit] Format
Originally intended to involve Dundee, Dundee Utd and two other clubs, the format is now a single match between the two Dundee clubs.
[edit] History
The Cup's inaugural showing was a standard four-team cup format, which saw Dundee United beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 in the final. United beat rivals Dundee in the first semi-final, while Sheffield Wednesday saw off Wolverhampton Wanderers on penalties in the other.
On 29 March 2006, it was announced the 2006 tournament would be slimmed down to a single derby match between Dundee and Dundee United [1]. On 22 June 2006, sponsorship was announced for the competition, which would see it renamed the Evening Telegraph Challenge Cup; Radio Tay will also sponsor the event [2].
