In each area there is a festival to then establish who will be visiting Welford Road to play the quarter finals and the hopefully visit us again to play the semi-final and final.

Clubs are invited to participate in a local regional festival, usually held in October or November. The festival winners are invited to represent their region in the knockout stages held at Welford Road as a curtain raiser to a Tigers 1st XV game. Attracting on average over entries each season the Prima Tiger Cup is one of the largest and most prestigious single age group competitions in the rugby calendar.

Season 2007/08

Season 2007/2008 saw Oakham, Silhillians, Coalville, Market Harborough, Nottingham, Southwold, Stoke on Trent and Stamford qualify for the quarter-final knockout stages. From these eight clubs, Oakham, Silhillians, Nottingham and Stoke battled through to the semi-finals and on Saturday 19th of April before the Guinness Premiership game between the Tigers and Bristol, Nottingham played Oakham in the final of the Prima Tiger Cup.

The final was a keenly contested game and as throughout the competition the standard of play was of the highest order. Both teams were a credit to their clubs. Nottingham were this seasons worthy winners by four tries to two.
