The Football Victoria Women's State Knockout Cup (colloquially referred to as the State Cup), currently known as the Nike F.C. Cup for sponsorship reasons, is an annual knockout competition and major trophy in women's state football in Victoria. Organised by Football Victoria (FV), it is open to any women's club in the state of Victoria.
First held in 2012 as the Pelada Cup, the women's edition of the state cup was started to give female teams from all across the state the opportunity to compete against each other in a knockout format.[1]
Records and honours
[edit]What is currently known as the Nike FC Cup began life as the Victorian Women's Soccer Association Cup - or the VWSA Cup - which was administered alongside the league when organised Women's football commenced in 1974. Football publications and local newspapers often covered the finals, but records for the period between 1985 and 2004 make it difficult to ascertain the composition and result of some finals, let alone whether they were even contested.
