The Scottish Amateur Cup is a nationwide knockout tournament supported and organised by the Scottish Amateur Football Association. The Scottish Amateur Cup is contested by hundreds of football clubs every year. The first and second rounds are regionalised.
Since 2015, the winners of the Amateur Cup are invited to compete in the following season's senior Scottish Cup.
In October 2023, AC Mill Inn Academy beat St Machar Thistle 51-0, in a match that grabbed national attention. The result is believed to be the biggest winning margin in Scottish history.
