Scottish Cup (rugby union)
The Scottish Cup (Currently known as The RBS Cup for sponsorship reasons) is the annual knock-out cup competition for domestic rugby union clubs in Scotland. The cup has been competed for since the 1995-1996 season; despite many structural changes the competition has always culminated with the final at Murrayfield Stadium.
The early rounds of the cup are competed at a regional level before progressing to nationwide knock-out rounds later on in the season.
