The English Clubs Knockout Cup or The National Colts Cup is a Nationwide competition for English Rugby union Clubs Colts (under age 19) teams. The competition is a straight knock-out competition that is organised by the East Midlands Rugby Union.

The Competition is firstly set on a Regional level, with the four national districts being split into 8 Regions. From each region there will be 4 qualifiers to go onto the National Stages of the Cup competition.
