The Cornwall Super Cup is an annual English Rugby Union club competition founded in 2007, organized by the Cornwall Rugby Football Union and is sponsored by Tribute Ales. Currently, the competition is consisted by the top three Cornish national league teams (tier 3 and below of the English rugby union league system) - Redruth (tier 4), Camborne and Launceston (both tier 5).
The Cornish Super Cup was originally introduced for the 2007-08 (then sponsored by Skinner's Brewery) as a 6-game round robin competition between three of the county's top sides, including Launceston (National 1), Mounts Bay (National 3 South) and Redruth (National 2), with the notable exception being the Cornish Pirates (National 1). This would mean that these sides would no longer participate in the Cornwall Senior Cup as they had previously. By the end of the season the lowest ranked team in terms of division, Mounts Bay, were the champions having defeated the Launceston at the final held at the Mennaye Field.
For the following season the competition expanded to include the Cornish Pirates. The intention was that all four teams would play each other twice in a group stage – with the top two teams meeting at the final at Tregorrick Park in St Austell. Due a variety of reasons (mostly fixture congestion) a large amount of games were un-played and the CRFU had to cancel the competition. Since this cancellation the cup has been played between the Launceston and Redruth as a two legged final (separate from league games) for 2009-10 before switching to the current system of doubling up as league games after a hiatus of several years. At the moment the Launceston and Redruth are in the same division so playing the cup as part of the league helps avoid the fixture congestion that plagued previous versions although With Launceston's relegation from the 2015–16 National League 2 South the future of the Cornish Super Cup is uncertain.
