It was played in late February or early March, at the same time as the Algarve Cup, the Arnold Clark Cup, the Cup of Nations, the Cyprus Women's Cup, the Istria Cup, the Pinatar Cup, the SheBelieves Cup, the Turkish Women's Cup and the Women's Revelations Cup. In April 2023, FFF decided to discontinue the tournament following the introduction of the UEFA Women's Nations League.[2]

Format

edit

The four invited teams play in a round-robin tournament. Points awarded in the group stage followed the formula of three points for a win, one point for a draw, and zero points for a loss. A tie in points would be decided by goal differential; other tie-breakers are used as needed.
