Scottish Rugby Schools' Cup

The Scottish Rugby Schools' Cup is the annual Scottish schools' rugby union cup competition. Competitions are held at under 18 and under 16 age group levels and are organised by Scottish Rugby. The finals are held at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh.

The competitions have had many different formats over the years. For season 2022-23 there are four competitions for each age group, the Cup, Shield, Plate and Bowl.
