The North Gloucestershire Combination Glanville Cup is an annual rugby union knock-out club competition organised by the North Gloucestershire Combination – one of the five bodies that make up the Gloucestershire Rugby Football Union. It was first introduced during the 1975–76 season, with the inaugural winners being Gordon League 'B', and is the third most important rugby union cup competition in north Gloucestershire, behind the Senior Cup and Junior Cup.[1]
The Glanville Cup is currently open for clubs sides based in Gloucester and north Gloucestershire which are typically the 3rd teams of sides playing in the Senior Cup, although 1st and 2nd XV of smaller clubs in the region have also taken part. The format is a knockout cup with a first round, quarter-finals, semi-finals and a final to be held at Kingsholm in Gloucester in April–May alongside the Senior and Junior Cup finals.[2]
