The WCA Valerie Fraser Camanachd Cup is the premier cup in Women’s shinty. It is played on a knock-out basis by the teams in the Premier League and is administered by the Women’s Camanachd Association.

Teams compete for the Valerie Fraser trophy, which was initially awarded to male teams. After a period of abeyance, it was donated to the newly formed Women’s Camanachd Association in 2002, and has been competed for yearly since. The VF CA cup is the showpiece of the annual ladies event, with the Challenge Cup final being held prior. Since 2019, the cup final has been broadcast live on BBC Alba.

Badenoch are the current holders, reclaiming the cup from Lochaber in 2025 to lift their 4th VF. Glengarry are the most successful team, having won the competition 6 times since their win in the inaugural final at Ballachulish, including a three-peat between 2009-2011. Glasgow Mid Argyll are the second most successful team with 4 wins, whilst Skye have triumphed on 3 occasions.

 

The VF Camanachd Cup is sponsored by MOWI.
