What are the stages of the competition?
The tournament begins with County Cups and Area Cups in England and Wales. The teams that win through their Area or County Final go through to the Regional Finals and then the National Finals. The process is slightly different in Scotland and Northern Ireland as they already run National Cups - the winners of which progress to the UK Final, playing against the National winning sides from England and Wales.
