About

A premium pre-season championship

Prestige Champions Cup is a permanent tournament platform, not a single event. Each edition is staged before the season it prepares players for, then created, managed and archived on the same platform so players build a competitive record over time.

The Cup exists to put ambitious female players in front of the strongest opposition available to them, at the moment in the year when it counts most: before the season starts. Pre-season is where form, fitness and confidence are built, and the Cup gives players a proper championship to build them in.

Players apply as individuals rather than as clubs or schools. Accepted players are drafted into franchise squads, which means teams are built on merit and players compete alongside girls they would never usually share a changing room with.

Every edition runs to the same competitive standard — structured age groups, proper officiating, published squads and a full programme of pool and knockout hockey. Players who return across editions keep the same profile and competitive history.

DevelopPre-season hockey at a level that demands improvement, against players of equal ambition.
