Strathdearn Cup

The Strathdearn Cup is a knock-out competition in the sport of shinty. The present holders are Lochcarron.

It is played for by reserve-level teams from the North of Scotland, that is all teams playing in North Division Two and Three as well as non-league teams.

It was first played for in 1911 and was originally administered by the Strathdearn Camanachd Association but it is now run under the auspices of the Camanachd Association. There is also a Strathdearn Six a-side Trophy for players at Under-17 level.

As of 2010, the opening rounds of the cup were played midweek, in order to reduce the backlog of fixtures that regularly afflicted shinty.[1] This experiment did not last the season.

In 2014, a Strathdearn Plate was introduced for teams knocked out in the first round of the competition.
