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 prestigious competition has always had a wide range of grassroots clubs up to Premiership academy teams competing for the top prize.
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. A plate competition was introduced to run alongside the main Cup competition for all sides knocked out in the Regional stages. In 2009/10 the Cup Competition is celebrating its thirteenth year of existence.
