The Caledonia Cup competition returns for 2022
Scottish Rugby is delighted to confirm the return of the Caledonia Cup this weekend (January 22) after a hiatus during the 2020/21 season due to Covid-19.

In the Boys’ competition, clubs will participate at U18, U16 and U15 levels, whilst the Girls’ competition will see clubs participate at U18 and U16 levels.
