The 2020 Scottish Women's Premier League Cup was the 18th edition of the SWPL Cup competition, which began in 2002.[1] It was known as the Scottish Building Society Scottish Women's Premier League Cup for sponsorship reasons. The competition was to be contested by all 18 teams of the two divisions of the Scottish Women's Premier League (SWPL 1 and SWPL 2).

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the competition was halted in March and abandoned in July 2020 without a winner.[2]

Format

In a change to the format, the first and second teams in the 2019 Scottish Women's Premier League received a bye to the quarter-finals. The remaining teams in SWPL1 and SWPL2 were divided into four groups of four teams. The group winners and the two runners-up with the best records would advance to the quarter-finals. The two other runners-up along with the teams who finish third and the two fourth-placed teams with the best record would compete in the plate competition.[3]

After the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Scottish FA banned the traditional practice of shaking hands between opponents and the match officials in a bid to help contain the virus.[4]
