The North Gloucestershire Combination Senior Cup is an annual rugby union knock-out club competition organized by the North Gloucestershire Combination - one of the five bodies that make up the Gloucestershire Rugby Football Union. It was first introduced during the 1903-04 season, with the inaugural winners being Berkley and is the most important rugby union competition in north Gloucestershire, ahead of the Junior Cup and Glanville Cup.[1][2]

The Senior Cup is currently open for clubs sides based in Gloucester and north Gloucestershire, playing all the way from tier 5 (National League 3 South West) to tier 11 (Gloucester 3) of the English rugby union league system. The format is a knockout cup with a first round, quarter-finals, semi-finals and a final to be held at Kingsholm in Gloucester in April–May alongside the Junior and Glanville Cup finals.[3]
