The Inverness Cup is a football competition for teams around Inverness in the Scottish Highlands. Originally, it was contested by the four Inverness based teams: Caledonian, Citadel, Clachnacuddin and Thistle, but became an invitational tournament to increase the number of clubs competing.
Interest in the tournament eventually diminished, with competition from the Highland League Cup and North of Scotland Cup, along with fixture congestion for Inverness CT, Ross County and Elgin City, who were now playing in the SPFL.
Although the competition was never formally discontinued, it hadn't been contested since 2005–06 until it was announced that Clachnacuddin would play Inverness CT in a single-fixture 2023–24 edition.
