The GFSN National Cup was introduced for the 2006/2007 season. With that season's league consisting of a Six-Nations format, a knock-out cup competition satisfied demand for more fixtures.

The popularity of the Cup has grown each year and this season sees the largest competition yet, with 18 teams taking part.

The current cup holders are Newcastle Panthers, who beat Falcons in an enthralling match at the home of Sheffield FC in May 2011.
