A total of 256 teams began Cumberland FA’s County Cup journey back in August 2017, and now the County FA is looking forward to welcoming its finalists back for a series of finals which take place throughout Cumberland in May.

All three adult finals will be hosted at Carlisle United’s Brunton Park for the first time, providing players with the unmissable experience of playing at a professional football club. Meanwhile, the junior finals will be played across the county at Windscale FC, Abbeytown JFC and Carlisle City FC.
