[edit] The Tournament
At present the tournament is contested by the eight winning teams from the first round, drawn from the sixteen teams in North and South Division 1, together with the teams in the Marine Harvest Premier League, who join the competition at the second round stage.
In 2006, the Cup had its first ever televised draw on BBC Scotland sports programme Spòrs, with the final also being broadcast live.
[edit] The Trophy
The Trophy itself was made after public donation in 1896 and, as befits such a Blue Riband event, it is a grand cup designed and constructed by Hamilton and Inches, Edinburgh. The player on the lid was modelled from Jock Dallas who played for Kingussie and whose great grandson, Ally Dallas, still plays for Kingussie.
In 2006, the ancient trophy made its way to New York City for the Tartan Day celebrations, the first time it had ever left Scotland.
Due to the rumbunctious nature of the celebrations of victorious teams leaving the trophy in a fragile state,(drinking whisky from the bowl is a traditional ritual and on one occasion the trophy was lost then found, in Somerled Square, Portree, after Skye Camanachd's 1990 victory), the board of directors at the Camanachd Association took the decision to have the trophy renovated and a replica of the trophy made for presentation after finals. The replica will be ready for the centenary final in 2007 in Inverness.
The centenary final was contested between 2005 winners Fort William and Inveraray on 22nd September 2007 at Bught Park. Fort William won the game 3-1.
[edit] Media coverage
The final of the Camanachd Cup gets shown live on BBC Two Scotland.
