The Premier League Cup is an English football competition run by Premier League for under–23 sides.
History
The competition was created in 2013 as the U21 Premier League Cup, an U21 equivalent of the FA Youth Cup[1][2] (an U18 competition competed for since 1952), albeit being run by the Premier League instead of The FA. In 2016 the age range of the competition was raised to Under-23s, and the competition was renamed as simply the Premier League Cup.
