TheCyprus Women's Cup was a global invitationaltournament for national teams inwomen's football. It was held annually inCyprus since 2008 until the introduction of theUEFA Women's Nations League in 2023. Although the competition takes place in Cyprus, thehosts never took part in the competition.
It was played in late February or early March, at the same time as theAlgarve Cup, theArnold Clark Cup, theCup of Nations, theIstria Cup, thePinatar Cup, theSheBelieves Cup, theTournoi de France, theTurkish Women's Cup and theWomen's Revelations Cup.
The Cyprus Women's Cup uses the following two-phase format:[1]
The first phase is a group stage in which the twelve invited teams are divided into three groups of four teams. Similar to the Algarve Cup, the teams inGroup A andGroup B consist of higher-ranked teams and are the only teams actually in contention for the championship;Group C consists of lower-ranked teams. Each group plays around-robin of six games, with each team playing one match against each of the other teams in the same group.
The second phase is a single "finals day" in which six games involving all twelve teams are played to determine the tournament's final standings, with the match-ups as follows:
