2023 Arnold Clark Cup

The Arnold Clark Cup is an invitational women's association football tournament hosted by The Football Association in England, starting in 2022.[1] It is named after car retailer Arnold Clark, who signed a multi-year sponsorship deal. ITV acts as the competition's domestic broadcast partner.[2]

Played during the February/March international break, the Arnold Clark Cup takes place at the same time as other notable international women's invitational tournaments such as the Algarve Cup, the Cup of Nations, the Cyprus Women's Cup, the Istria Cup, the Pinatar Cup, the SheBelieves Cup, the Tournoi de France, the Turkish Women's Cup and the Women's Revelations Cup.

Format

The four invited teams play each other once in a round-robin tournament. Points awarded in the group stage follow the formula of three points for a win, one point for a draw, and zero points for a loss. A tie in points would be decided by goal difference.
